At a recent RHD meeting, the engineers estimated that a total of $500,000 will be deposited at the end of next year into an account for the repair of old and safety questionable bridges throughout the area. Further, they estimate that the deposits will increase by $100,000 per year for only 9 years thereafter, then cease. Determine the equivalent (a) present worth and (b) annual series amounts, if public funds earn at a rate 4% per year.
