You can put this solution on YOUR website! use the formula for the future value of a series of payments, compounded annually.
The formula is:
FV = P * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r
FV is the future value of the annuity =$10,000),
P is the annual deposit,
r is the annual interest rate =0.024
n is the number of years 5 years
Rearrange the formula for P
P = FV * r / ((1 + r)^n - 1)
Plug the values
P = 10000 * 0.024 / ((1 + 0.024)^5 - 1
