To calculate the annual payment required to reach a future value of $50,000 in 10 years with an interest rate of 5 percent per year, you can use the future value of an ordinary annuity formula:

FV = Pmt * [(1 + r)^n - 1] / r

Where:
FV = Future Value ($50,000)
Pmt = Annual Payment
r = Interest Rate (5% or 0.05)
n = Number of years (10)

$50,000 = Pmt * [(1 + 0.05)^10 - 1] / 0.05

$50,000 = Pmt * [1.628895 - 1] / 0.05

$50,000 = Pmt * 0.628895 / 0.05

$50,000 = Pmt * 12.5779

Pmt = $50,000 / 12.5779
Pmt = $3,975.06

Therefore, you would need to pay approximately $3,975 per year to reach a future value of $50,000 in 10 years with a 5 percent interest rate per year.

The closest option to this value is $3,975 per year.
