The document contains 4 sample problems solving for various financial calculations like the number of years until a dam pays for itself, how much money needs to be set aside each year to have a certain amount after retirement, the price paid for a computer under an installment plan, and the equal periodic payments needed to pay off a debt over time. For each problem, the relevant financial variables like principal, interest rate, and time period are given, and the solution shows the mathematical steps and calculations to determine the unknown amount.

PROFESSOR: ENGR. OTILIA TADUYO OCTOBER 7, 2021 BES 4 BSCE-2A Assignment4. Annuities 07 October 2021 P4-02 (C.E. Beard, November 1978) The average annual cost of damages caused by floods to a certain subdivision located along the Pasig River is estimated at P700,000. To build a gravity dam to protect the area from floods would cost Php2,500,000.00 and would involve an annual cost of P20,000. With interest at 8% compounded annually, how many years will takes for the dam to pay for itself?

He signed a contract to pay P5, 000 and the balance principal and interest included, by equal payments at the end of each 6 months for 10 years. At the end of 4 years this computer was sold to yield the investor 7% payable semi-annually. Find the price he paid.
