Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

12 year $ 6000 annuity due

= 6000 sum (k=0 to 11) (1/(1+i)^k)= 6000* (1-1/(1+i)^12)/(1-1/(1+i)) 

=6000/i* (1+i-1/(1+i)^11)

=  44970.37 

you are right 

900/i = 900/.16= 5625

correct 

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
