One of the projects the loan would fund is to build earthquake-resistant buildings. The project will begin in March 2015, last for two years and is expected to have the following expenditures: start-up costs of $200,000 paid at the beginning of the first month; rental of equipment to be paid at the beginning of the month that will be $100,000 each month for the first year, but $50,000 each month for the second year; material costs to be paid at the end of each month that will be $30,000; personnel costs of $100,000 to be paid at the end of each month; and end-of-project clean-up costs of $100,000 that will be paid at the end of the last month (February 2017). Canada is only willing to allocate $3,000,000 of the loan at the start of the project. These funds are put into an account that pays interest at a stated annual rate of 12 percent, compounded monthly. Calculate how much this project needs at the beginning of the second year that would be necessary to cover its expected expenditures.
