a.
A = P*(1+i)^-n Where,
= 475*(1+0.02)^-10 A Present value
= $ 389.67 P $        475
i 4% / 2 = 0.02
n 5 x 2 = 10
b.
A = P*(1+i)^-n Where,
= 475*(1+0.01)^-20 A Present value
= $ 389.28 P $        475
i 4% / 4 = 0.01
n 5 x 4 = 20
c.
A = P*(1+i)^-n Where,
= 475*(1+0.003333)^-12 A Present value
= $ 456.41 P $        475
i 4% / 12 = 0.003333
n 1 x 12 = 12
