Answer #1

Target Future Value = $ 150000, Interest Rate = 4 %, Deposit Tenure = 18 years

Let the required annual deposits be $ p

Therefore, p x (1.04)^(17) + p x (1.04)^(16) + .................+ p = 150000

p x [{(1.04)^(18)-1}/{(1.04)-1}] = 150000

p x 29.7781 = 150000

p = 150000 / 29.7781 = $ 5037.26
