Find the future values of the following ordinary annuities: a. FV of $600 paid each 6 months for 5 years at a nominal rate of 6% compounded semiannually. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ 819000.0 b. FV of $300 paid each 3 months for 5 years at a nominal rate of 6% compounded quarterly. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent. $ c. These annuities receive the same amount of cash during the 5-year period and earn interest at the same nominal rate, yet the annuity in part b ends up larger than the one in part a.
