A baseball player is offered a $5-$year contract that pays him the following amounts:

Year $1$: $$1\mathrm{.}6$ million

Year $2$: $$1\mathrm{.}3$ million

Year $3$: $$1\mathrm{.}9$ million

Year $4$: $$1\mathrm{.}4$ million

Year $5$: $$1\mathrm{.}7$ million

Under the terms of the agreement all payments are made at the end of each year.

Instead of accepting the contract, the baseball player asks his agent to negotiate a contract that has a present value of $$3$ million more than that which has been offered. Moreover, the player ufants to receive his payments in the form of a $6-$year annuity due. All cash flows are discounted at $12$ percent. If the team were to agree to the player's terms, what would be the player's annual salary $($in millions of dollars$)?$
