Explanation of Solution

Debt at the end of year 1 is 1 million lavs.

Debt at the end of year 10 is 10 million lavs.

The interest rate on debt in year 10 is 500,000 lavs (5100×10,000,000).

Thus the government will be spending 10,500,000 lavs (10,000,000+500,000)

The taxes at the end of year 10 is 9 million lavs.

The taxes are raised to cover interest payments each year so that the budget deficit remains at 1,000,000(10,000,0009,000,000)
