Global Enterprises has just signed a $3 million (nominal value) contract. The contract calls for a payment of $.5 million today, $.9 million one year from today, and $1.6 million two years from today. Interest rate is 12%. What is the contract's equivalent value if we evaluate it in two years (hint: calculate future value in two years). I know the answer is $3.24 million but I need help getting there. Can you show me how you got that please.
