Time Value of Money Question?

XYZ Ltd intends to accumulate funds by contributing to an annual accumulation fund to provide for the retirement benefits for CEO. These funds will be deposited into an accumulation account in equal installments, at the end of each year. The CEO will retire at the conclusion of his contract which expires at the end of five years from today. On retirement, the CEO is entitled to receive a lump sum of $120,000 on the day of the retirement plus end-of-year payments of $ 30,000 for each of the next ten years. XYZ Ltd will invest the accumulation of savings in fixed deposit account that earns the interest of 8% per annum.
