Astros Co wants to accumulate $2,000,000 by 10/1/10. To achieve this goal, Astros Co will make the first of 6 equal annual deposits on 10/1/05. The deposits will be placed into a fund that earns interest at 10%
**Compute the:
1) amount of the equal annual deposit
2) balance of the account at 10/1/08, immediately after the 4th deposit
3) amount of increase in the balance of the account from 10/1/07 to 10/1/08
4) amount of interest earned from 10/1/06 through 10/1/08
On 10/1/08, after making 4 deposits for the amount determined in (1), Astros Co discovers that the amount needed will be $1,500,000 instead of $2,000,000. However, the $1,500,000 will not be needed until 10/1/13. So, Astros Co will not be required to make the remaining 2 deposits computed in (1) and instead will be allowed to make a single withdrawal on 10/1/11
**Compute the:
5) balance of the account on 10/1/10
6) amount of the withdrawal made on 10/1/11
7) amount of interest earned from 10/1/10 through 10/1/12
CLUE MUST MATCH:::The balance in the account at 10/1/07, immediately after the third deposit, is approximately $858,002.
