Explanation:

We are provided with the following data from the question;

Amount to be paid to the CEO upon successful completion of first three years of service = $10.4 million

Amount to be earned on the anticipated cash outflow = 5.65 percent on the funds.

number of years = 3 years

solve

$10,400,000 = C × (1 + 0.0565)³ - 1 / 0.0565

$10,400,000 = C × 0.17925/0.0565

$10,400,000 = C × 3.1726

C = $10,400,000 ÷ 3.1726

C = $3,277,973

The amount Holiday Tours (HT) must set aside each year for this purpose is  $3,277,973
