A manufacturer of industrial grade gas handling equipment wants to have $500,000 in an equipment replacement contingency fund 10 years from now. If the company plans to deposit a uniform amount of money each year beginning now and continuing through year 10 (total of 11 deposits), what must be the size of each deposit? Assume the account grows at a rate of 10% per year.

What will be an ideal response?


A = 500,000(A/F,10%,11)
