Answer: $25078

Explanation:

Firstly, we'll find the real interest rate which will be:

(1 + R) = (1 + r)(1 + h)

(1 + 10%) = (1 + r)(1 + 4.8%)

(1 + 0.1) = (1 + r)(1 + 0.048)

1.1 = (1 + r)(1.048)

r = 4.96%.

Now the annual deposit will be gotten by using the annuity future value which will be:

3 million = C(1.0496^40-1) / 0.0496

3 million = C(5.3995) / 0.0496

3 million = 119.627C

C = 3 million/119.627

C = 25078

Therefore, the real amount that must be deposited each year to achieve the goal is $25078
