Solve the following quantitative tasks below using Python code with final answers.

Task 1. You decided to invest $2,000 a year for the next ten years starting one year from today. If you make the annual contribution into an account paying 5%, how much will you have in 10 years? (Round to the nearest $1.)

Task 2. What is the future value of an ordinary annuity with payments of $500 for 3 years if the discount rate is 10%?

Task 3. You are considering buying a security that will pay $1,000 every year forever. If you buy the asset, you will start receiving the first $1,000 payment immediately (today). If the discount rate is 5%, what is the most you should be willing to pay for this security?

Task 4. You are starting a four-year educational program today. Since you did not save enough money, you plan to take a loan of $10,000 each year for four years. The loan has an interest rate of 4.5%, and you are taking the first $10,000 installment today. You plan to finish your education in exactly four years. What will be the balance owing on your loan when you graduate? (Round to the nearest $1.)

Task .5. Your mom is asking you for help with her retirement planning. She and your dad are hoping to start withdrawing from their retirement accounting beginning in one year from today, and they want to make sure that they have enough in the account to make annual withdrawals of $60,000 for 20 years. Their retirement account pays 8% annually. How much do they have to have now in the account? (Round to the nearest $1.)

Task 6. You just graduated from a university and have some student loan debt. The interest rate on your loan is 4%. If you make monthly payments of $504.54 for 10 years at the beginning of each month (starting today), your debt will be completely repaid. The amount you owe today is closest to which of the following? (Round to the nearest $1.)

Task.7. You are planning for retirement and need $4,000,000 when you retire in exactly 40 years. Your employer will match all contributions to your retirement account on a one-for-one basis, and you can earn 8% on all invested funds. Currently, you have $10,000 in your retirement account. To reach your goal, you plan to make monthly contributions starting today. How much do you have to contribute to your retirement account each month? (Use at least four decimal places of accuracy for the interest rate and round to the nearest $1.)

Task.8. Suppose you turned 25 today and married your dream spouse (what a day!). You receive a wedding gift of $5,000. In consultation with your new spouse, you decide to put the money in an account that earns 8% so that you can travel around the world when you retire at the age of 65. How much will you have in your account in 40 years? (Allow $1 rounding.)

Task.9. You have a son who just turned eight years old. You want him to go to a university and would like to provide financial support. Your goal is to give him a gift of $15,000 when he enters college in exactly 10 years. Assuming you can earn 5%, how much do you have to set aside today? (Round to the nearest $1.)

Task.10. Your grandparents set up a family education fund that pays $5,000 every quarter in perpetuity to fund family educational pursuits. The fund earns 12%. How much did your grandparents set aside to establish the fund? Assume that the fund started making distributions three months after establishment.
