The organization plans to provide a total of 50 scholarships, with the first scholarships awarded at the end of the 4th year.

Explanation / Answer

Annual scholarship expense = $500 x 10 = $5,000

Number of scholarship years = 50 / 10 = 5

Required deposits at end of 4th year = $5,000 x PVIFA(6%, 5) = $5,000 x 4.2124 = $21,062

Required deposut at current year = $21,062 x PVIF(6%, 4) = $21,062 x 0.7921 = $16,683.08
