In order to establish a contingency fund to replace
equipment after unexpected breakdowns, a manufacturer
of thin-wall plastic bottles plans to deposit
$100,000 now and $150,000 two years from
now into an investment account. Assuming the
account grows at 15% per year, the equation that
does not represent the future value of the account
in year 5 is:
(a) F = 100,000(F∕P,15%,5) +
150,000(F∕P,15%,3)
(b) F = [100,000(F∕P,15%,2) + 150,000]
(F∕P,15%,3)
(c) F = [100,000 + 150,000(P∕F,15%,2)]
(F∕P,15%,5)
(d) F = 100,000(F∕P,15%,5) +
150,000(F∕P,15%,2)
