You just signed a business contract with one of your clients. The client will pay you the equivalent of $75,000 of today's money a year for five years for the service you will provide. You anticipate the general inflation rate over this period to be 3%. If your desired inflation-free interest rate (real interest rate) is to be 4%, what is the worth of the fifth payment in present dollars? Assume the client will pay the consulting fee at the end of each year.
