Kathleen plans to make four equal annual deposits to a fund that will earn interest at 10% compounded annually. Kathleen made the first deposit on September 1, Year 1. Future value and future amount factors are as follows:
Future value of US $1 at 1 O% for four periods 1.46 Future amount of ordinary annuity of US $1
at 10% for four periods 4.64
Future amount of annuity in advance of US $1
at 10% for four periods 5.11

The amount will be generated from four equal annual paymentsan annuity) to be made starting at the beginning of the 4-year period. The annual payment for this annuity can be calculated advance by dividing the desired future amount of US $1.000.000 by the factor for the future amount of an amount in advance of US $1 at 10% for four periods. Each annual deposit should therefore equal US $195.700$1.000.000 - 5.11).
