Let's break down each scenario and calculate the future value of the deposits:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**(a) Annual Deposits of $10,000**\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* **Deposit (PMT):** $10,000
\n" ); document.write( "* **Interest Rate (r):** 10% or 0.10
\n" ); document.write( "* **Number of Years (n):** 6
\n" ); document.write( "* **Compounding:** Annually\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We'll use the future value of an ordinary annuity formula:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FV = PMT * [((1 + r)^n - 1) / r]\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "FV = $10,000 * [((1 + 0.10)^6 - 1) / 0.10]
\n" ); document.write( "FV = $10,000 * [(1.10^6 - 1) / 0.10]
\n" ); document.write( "FV = $10,000 * [(1.771561 - 1) / 0.10]

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**(b) Semi-annual Deposits of $5,000**\r

\n" ); document.write( "* **Compounding:** Semi-annually\r
