Answer 1

$27,439

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for the amount that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment

First step is to find the FV of an ordinary annuity of $1 using the table

FV=?

Number of years= 4

interest= 9%

Hence,

FV of of an ordinary annuity of $1 =4.5731

Now let calculate the that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment

End of the fourth and final payment Accumulated amount = $6,000 × 4.5731

End of the fourth and final payment Accumulated amount = $27,439

Therefore the amount that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment will be $27,439
