Question 17 7 pts Suppose that you win the Powerball Lottery. The stated prize is $395 million. If you agree to take the payout over 30 years in the form of an annuity due, then each payment equals the stated prize divided by 30. The first payment will be made to you immediately, and the remaining 29 future payments will be paid out annually (beginning one year from today). Alternatively, you can take the lump sum payout. This payout is calculated as the present value of the annuity due described above. The annual rate of return used in this calculation is the estimated rate of return that the sponsor (the Multi-State Lottery Association, or MUSL) forecasts that it can earn by investing the funds necessary to support the annuity payout. For the sake of this example, suppose that the projected annual rate of return is 3.35% per year. What is the lump sum payout (before taxes, of course) Express your answer in $ millions to 3 decimal places. (For example, type 10 for $10 million or $10,000,000; or 11.253 for $11.253 million or $11,253,000.)
