Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

A charity plans to invest annual payments of $60,000, $70,000, $75,000, and $50,000

We need to use the following formula for each deposit:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

Deposit 1= 60,000*(1.055)^3= $70,454.48

Deposit 2= 70,000*(1.055^2)= $77,911.75

Deposit 3= 75,000*(1.055)= $79,125

Deposit 4= 50,000

Total= $277,491.23
