Answer: $34,696
Explanation: $1000,000/25=$40,000 as deposit to be made 25 times, but out of this amount 8% interest will be subtracted which gives 8/100×40,000=$3200.
Hence annual deposit will be $40000-$3200=$36800.
But annual raise of 3% should be subtracted as well making deposit to be 3/100×36800=$1104.
Substracting we have $36800-$1104=$35696.
