The first deposit will be made immediately (today) and subsequent deposits will be made at the start of each year after today. You will then retire at the end of the 30th year.You plan to invest all your retirement savings into 10 year government bonds as you are risk averse and appreciate the “risk-free” nature of government bonds. 假设在整个期间的投资利率保持不变，并且忽略税收的影响。 Assume that for the entire period of your investment interest rates remain unchanged, and ignore tax implications. Required: a) Go to the RBA website and click on Statistics, then under the heading of Statistical Tables click on Interest Rates. Find the interest rate on 10 year government bonds as at 1 June 2011.
