The Bauxton Company needs to save $10 million to discharge a $10 million mortgage loan (a kind of term loan) that matures on 31 December 2017. To discharge this mortgage, the company plans to put a fixed amount into an account at the end of each year for 10 years, with the first payment occurring on 31 December 2008. The Bauxton Company expects to earn 9% annually on the money in this account. What equal annual contribution must it make to this account to accumulate the $10 million by 31 December 2017?
