            I will answer the first question, ONLY.

            The answer to the second question is in the text of the problem,
            so it is  UNCLEAR  to me,  for what reason it is included here . . .


You write the equation as you read the problem


    10000000 = X%2A%281+%2B+0.1%2F2%29%5E%282%2A10%29


    10000000 = X%2A%281+%2B+0.05%29%5E20


    10000000 = X%2A1.05%5E20


       X     = 10000000%2F%281.05%5E20%29 = 3768894.83.      ANSWER

Solved.
