Pt = $25000/yr * 30rs = $750,000 = Amt.
in the account after 10 yrs.

Pt = Po(1+r)^n.

r = 9%/100% = 0.09 = APR expressed as a decimal.

n=1 comp./yr * 10yrs = 10 Compounding periods.

Po(1.09)^10 = 750,000.
Po = 750000 / (1.09)^10 = $316,808.11.
= Initial deposit.
50,000
A2=25000[1 - (1.09)^-30]/0.09= $256,841.35
256,841.35=A1(1.09)^10; A1= $108,492.56
