    =$66,666.67

    Explanation:

    The question is asking to determine the amount of money Martin requires to fund his desired bequest in his will.

    First, how much is the cash flow martin expects to flow out in the first year of the bequest = $4000

    Secondly, what is the expected growth the bequest is to experience yearly and forever = 4% yearly

    Thirdly, what is the interest rate expected = 10%

    Based on these figures,

    The amount to be provided = The Cash flow / (Expected growth rate - Interest rate)

    =$4,000 / (0.10-0.04)

    =$66,666.67
