Explanation / Answer
a. D1= $4(1.06)=$4.24 D2= $4.24(1.06)=$4.494 D3= $4.494(1.06)=$4.764 D4=$4.764(1.06)=$5.049 .

D1 $4.24 .885 $ 3.752
D2 4.494 .783 3.518
D3 4.764 .693 3.30
D4 5.049 .613 3.095
$13.666
======================================
C. (D5 is equal to D4 times 1.06)
D5=5.049(1.06)=5.351 =5.351/.13-.06=5.351/$76
