B) $195,700

Explanation:

Future value of $1 at 10% for 4 periods = 1.46 Future amount of ordinary annuity of $1 at 10% for 4 periods = 4.64 Future amount of annuity in advance of $1 at 10% for 4 periods = 5.11

Since Kathleen Corp. is depositing the money in advance, she must use the future amount of annuity in advance = 5.11 in order to determine the future value of the 4 deposits:

$250,000 x 5.11 = $1,277,500

$195,700 x 5.11 = $1,000,027

$684,930 x 5.11 = $3,499,992

$215,500 x 5.11 = $1,101,205
