Given about an annuity,

Monthly payment PMT = $2500

term period t = 20 years

interest rate EAR = 6.75% compounded annually

First we need to calculated monthly rate.

So, Monthly rate r = ((1+EAR)^(1/12)) - 1 = ((1.0675^(1/12)) - 1) = 0.5458%

So, price of the annuity is calculated using PV formula of ordinary annuity

PV = PMT*(1 - (1+r)^(-n*t))/r

where r = 12 months in a year

So, price of the annuity = 2500*(1 - (1 + 0.005458)^(-12*20))/0.005458 = $333998.96
