    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    You must make a payment of $1,432.02 in 10 years. To get the money for this payment, you will make five equal deposits, beginning today and for the following 4 quarters, in a bank that pays a nominal interest rate of 12% with quarterly compounding.

    First, we need to calculate the present value one year from today of $1,432.02.

    We need to use the following formula:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    n = 9*4 = 36

    i = 0.12/4 = 0.03

    PV = 1,432.02 / 1.03^36 = 494.09

    This is the monetary value we need to generate one year from today to achieve $1,432.02 ten years from now.

    We will use the following formula:

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

    A = annual deposit

    Isolating A:

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

    i = 0.12/5 = 0.024

    A = (494.09*0.024) / [ (1.024^5) - 1]

    A = $94.19
