A time deposit is a money deposit at a banking institution that cannot be withdrawn for a certain "term" or period of time (unless a penalty is paid). The formula of simple interest is: FV = PV*(1 + i*t), where PV - initial sum, i - interest rate, t - number of periods. In our case: 4,000,000 = 2,000,000*(1 + 0.09*1) + x*(1 + 0.09*0.5) 4,000,000 = 2,000,000*1.09 + x*1.045 x = 1,820,000/1.045 = $1,741,626.79 should be deposited again on July 1, 2010.
