The fund has an 8-year life span and a 4-year average holding period of investments, with a 30 percent annual appreciation after fees. The fund invests the $30 million in four equal amounts per year in Years 1 through 4

1. How much are the capital appreciations in years 5 through 8?
2. How much are the carried interests in years 5 through 8?
