    The lump sum be of $237,228.84

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate how large must the lump sum be we would have to use and calculate the formula of Present value of annuity due as follows:

    Present value of annuity due = (1+interest rate) * Annuity[1 - (1+interest rate) ^-time period]/rate

    Present value of annuity due = (1+0.075) * $25,000[1 - (1.075) ^-15]/0.075

    Present value of annuity due=$25,000*9.489153726

    Present value of annuity due=$237,228.84 (Approx)

    The lump sum be of $237,228.84
