Tyler won a lottery that would pay him $$34,000$ in $2$ years and $$13,100$ in $6$ years. The lottery company had another option where he could get an upfront amount now and another $$13,800$ in $2$ years.

Calculate the upfront amount that he would receive now from the second option, assuming that money is worth $3\mathrm{.}00\%$ compounded semi$-$annually.
