Final Answer:

(a) Wally must deposit approximately $136,032.53.

(b) Wally's first annual payout will be approximately $13,000.

(c) Wally's second annual payout will be approximately $13,455.00.

(d) Wally's last annual payout will be approximately $37,495.27.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Wally's initial deposit (P) can be calculated using the present value formula for an annuity:


\[ P = PMT * \left( (1 - (1 + r)^(-n))/(r) \right) \]

where PMT is the annual payment, r is the interest rate per period, and n is the total number of periods. Plugging in the values, we get:


\[ P = 13000 * \left( (1 - (1 + 0.083)^(-25))/(0.083) \right) \]


\[ P \approx 136032.53 \]

(b) For the first annual payout, Wally receives the fixed amount of $13,000.

(c) For subsequent years, the payout is adjusted for inflation using the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) formula:


\[ P_t = P_(t-1) * (1 + \text{COLA}) \]

where
\(P_t\) is the payout in year t and COLA is the cost-of-living adjustment rate. For Wally's second payout:


\[ P_2 = 13000 * (1 + 0.035) \]


\[ P_2 \approx 13455.00 \]

(d) For the last payout, the calculation is similar:


\[ P_(25) = 13000 * (1 + 0.035)^(24) \]


\[ P_(25) \approx 37495.27 \]

These calculations ensure that Wally's annual payouts are adjusted for inflation while considering the interest earned on his initial deposit.
