Recent sales of some real estate and record profits make it possible for a manufacturer to set aside $1,100,000 in a fund to be used for modernization and remodeling. How much can be withdrawn from this fund at the beginning of each half-year for the next 5 years if the fund earns 6.4%, compounded semiannually
