a)
Present Value=Future Value/(1+r/m)^(m*n)
=0.5*10^6/1.05^10=306956.62677038

b)
Future Value of annuity=Annuity/rate*((1+rate)^n-1)

10 years
=150/5%*(1.05^10-1)=1886.68388033232

50 years
=150/5%*(1.05^50-1)=31402.1993572611

100 years
=150/5%*(1.05^100-1)=391503.773538911

c)
Present Value=Future Value/(1+r/m)^(m*n)
=20000/(1+12%/4)^(4*10)=6131.13681547614
