Answer

$\$ 2390.27$

Work Step by Step

The amount $A_{f}$ of an annuity consisting of $n$ regular equal payments of size $R$ with interest rate $i$ per time period is given by $\displaystyle \quad A_{f}=R\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}$ ---------- To solve for R, multiply both sides with $\displaystyle \frac{i}{(1+i)^{n}-1}.$ $R=\displaystyle \frac{iA_{f}}{(1+i)^{n}-1}$ Given $A_{f}=10,000$ (quarterly= 4 times a year) $i=\displaystyle \frac{0.12}{4}-0.03$ $n=4$, $R =\displaystyle \frac{10,000\cdot 0.03}{(1.03)^{4}-1}=\$ 2390.27$
