b. What amount could you pay at the end of each year annually for 9 years to achieve this same objective? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

a. Let the single payment to be made at the beginning of the first year be P

Therefore P ( 1.09)9 = 25,356 or P = 25,356 / 2.172 = $ 11,674 approx

b. We need $ 25,356 at the end of 9 years. And to achieve this objective we are going to invest A amount of money at the end of each year.

A = 25,356 / FVIFA = 25,356 / 13.021 = $ 1947.32
