Answer 1

FV $4,594,590

Step-by-step explanation:

The annuity which produce funds will start on the seventh year thereofre there will be 4 annual deposits at the beginning of each year.

We solve for the future value of an annuity-due of 4 year at 10% interest rate:

`C * ((1+r)^(time) -1)/(rate)(1+r) = FV\\`

C 900,000.00

time 4

rate 0.1

`900000 * ((1+0.1)^(4) -1)/(0.1)(1+0.1) = FV\\`

FV $4,594,590

This is the amount accumualted at the end of the tenth year
