Assume simple interest rate of 7.25% p.a. and three equal payments of $x.
Future value of capital after 300 days
= 9000*(1+300/365*0.0725)
Future value of 3 equal payments made at 60, 180 and 300 days
= x + x*(1+180/365*0.0725) + x*(1+240/365*0.0725)
Equating the two and solving for x,
x=$88954047/28762= $3,092.76
