B) Deposits of 1380 for 4 years at 10% per year compounded semi annually.

To determine the amount of each ordinary simple annuity, you can use the formula:

A = P * [(1 + r)^n - 1] / r

where:
A = Amount of each annuity payment
P = Deposit amount
r = Interest rate per compounding period
n = Number of compounding periods

Let's calculate the amount of each annuity payment for the given scenario:

B) Deposits of $1380 for 4 years at 10% per year compounded semiannually.

First, we need to convert the annual interest rate to a semiannual interest rate:

Semiannual interest rate = Annual interest rate / 2 = 10% / 2 = 5%

Next, we calculate the number of compounding periods:

n = Number of years * Number of compounding periods per year
n = 4 * 2 = 8 semiannual periods

Now, we can substitute the values into the formula:

A = 1380 * [(1 + 0.05)^8 - 1] / 0.05

Calculating this expression will give us the amount of each annuity payment for the given scenario.

Please note that I have assumed that the annuity payments are made at the end of each period (ordinary annuity). If this is not the case, please let me know so I can adjust the calculation accordingly.

To determine the amount of each ordinary simple annuity, you would need to use the formula for the future value of an ordinary simple annuity:

FV = P * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r

Where:
FV = Future value of the annuity
P = Payment or deposit amount
r = Interest rate per period
n = Number of periods

Now let's calculate the amount of each ordinary simple annuity for both scenarios.

A) Deposits of $2550 for 7 years at 9.7% per year compounded annually:

Using the formula, we have:
P = $2550
r = 0.097 (9.7% expressed as a decimal)
n = 7

FV = $2550 * ((1 + 0.097)^7 - 1) / 0.097

Calculating this expression will give us the future value of the annuity, which represents the total amount at the end of the 7-year period.

B) Deposits of $1380 for 4 years at 10% per year compounded semi-annually:

First, we need to find the interest rate per period by dividing the annual interest rate by the number of periods in a year. Since the interest is compounded semi-annually, there are 2 periods in a year.

r = 0.1 / 2 = 0.05 (10% per year divided by 2 for semi-annual compounding)

Now we can use the formula with the updated values:
P = $1380
r = 0.05
n = 4

FV = $1380 * ((1 + 0.05)^4 - 1) / 0.05

Calculating this expression will give us the future value of the annuity, representing the total amount at the end of the 4-year period.

Since these are simple, ordinary annuities, the regular deposits happen at the same frequency as interest is applied, and we can use this formula:

FV = R [(1 + i)^n] / i

A)
FV = 2550 [(1 + 0.097)^7] / 0.097
FV = 2550 [1.097^7] / 0.097
FV = $ ______. __ (Round to 2 decimal places)

B) This question doesn't clearly state whether the $1380 regular deposits are semi-annually, to match when the interest is applied. If they are, you can use the above formula, remembering to adjust i and n accordingly (If not, it may be that you are expected to use a regular semi-annual deposit of $1380/2 = $690).
