Answer:

Annual deposit= $2,475.63

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value= $3,000,000

Number of periods= 44

Interest rate= 0.12 compounded annually

To calculate the annual deposit, we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (3,000,000*0.12) / [(1.12^44) - 1]

A= $2,475.63
