Answer:
The company must set aside $3.430.408 for this purpose.
Explanation:
To get this value, you must create a diagram of cash flow, where you put at the end of the sixth year the total payment (outflow) $24.500.000 and going backwards putting in each year the same amount (with an X, because you do not know it and have to calculate it) of money as inflow. Then recreate a financial formula taking in consideration total time that X will be gaining interest as follow: 24.500.000 = x*(1+0,05)^1+x*(1+0,05)^2+x*(1+0,05)^3+x*(1+0,05)^4+x*(1+0,05)^4+x*(1+0,05)^5+x*(1+0,05)^6
