future value = (payment)[((1+i)^n-1)/i]
750000 = P[(1.042^(4*25)-1)/0.042]
750000 = P[1433.4]
payment = $523.23
-------------------------------
a) How much should you deposit each quarter?:: 523.2307
b) How much total money will you put into the account?:: $52,323.07
c) How much total interest will you earn?:: 750,000-52323 = 697,676.93
