Answer:
$10,974.05
Explanation:
Given that,
Amount to accumulated = $25,000 in two years
Interest rate = 9%
Let the amount be X,
Total amount after two years:
= Year 1 + Year 2
= X(1.09)^2 + X(1.09)
= 1.1881 X + 1.09X
= 2.2781 X
SO, Total amount after two years:
2.2781 X = 25,000
X = 25,000 ÷ 2.2781
= $10,974.05
Hence, the amount deposited at the beginning of each year is $10,974.
