Answer:
The first annual depoisit will be of 3,373.49 dollars
Explanation:
Given the formula for future growing annuity
we need to solve for the yearly payment:
grow rate:  0.04
annual effective rate: 8% compounding semiannually:

r=	0.0816
FV 2,500,000
n	46
<em><u>Formula for future value fo an ordinary annuity:</u></em>


The first annual depoisit will be of 3,373.49 dollars
 
        
             
        
        
        
 deferral is the answer.
A deferral in accrual accounting is an account on which income or expenses are recorded at a later date. Pensions, surcharges, taxes, income, etc. Accruals and deferrals can be viewed as either assets or liabilities, depending on the type of accrual. See also boundaries.
deferral means money paid or received before the product or service is offered. Here is an example of postponement: Insurance fee. Subscription-based services (newspapers, magazines, TV shows, etc.) Prepaid rental.
deferral is a payment made in one accounting period but not reported until the next accounting period. For example, if you made a payment at the end of the year but did not report until the new year, this will be postponed.

Answer:
d. It is best measured using the statistic variance inflation factor (VIF).
Explanation:
Multicollinearity is an important issue in multiple regression model, having many independent/ explanatory variables. Multicollinearity is the situation in which two or more independent variables are highly correlated. It is problematic because it increases the standard error of independent variable coefficient & undermines its statistical significance 
Variance Inflation Factor [VIF] is a check & corrective measure of multicollinearity.  
- VIF as a multicollinearity check : It quantifies the correlation between one explanatory variable with other explanatory variables.VIF = 1 implies there is no multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables); VIF upto 5  implies there is moderate multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables). VIF > 5 implies high multicollinearity (correlation between independent variables)
- VIF as a multicollinearity correction : Calculating   = σ^2 / = σ^2 /![[TSS j (1 - R^2j)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BTSS%20j%20%281%20-%20R%5E2j%29%5D) ; where TSS = total sum of square of variable j , σ^2 =  j variance, R^2 j = R^2 from regressing all other independent variable on variable j ; where TSS = total sum of square of variable j , σ^2 =  j variance, R^2 j = R^2 from regressing all other independent variable on variable j
