Answer:

B) $195,700

Explanation:

  • Future value of $1 at 10% for 4 periods  = 1.46
  • Future amount of ordinary annuity of $1  at 10% for 4 periods  = 4.64
  • Future amount of annuity in advance of $1  at 10% for 4 periods  = 5.11

Since Kathleen Corp. is depositing the money in advance, she must use the future amount of annuity in advance = 5.11 in order to determine the future value of the 4 deposits:

$250,000  x 5.11 = $1,277,500

$195,700  x 5.11 = $1,000,027

$684,930  x 5.11 = $3,499,992

$215,500 x 5.11 = $1,101,205
