500 due in one year
1500 due in 2 years, plus simple interest at 6%
2000 due in three years, plus simple interest at 5%

The individual wants to discharge these debts paying 1000 now and two equal unknown payments in one and two years from now. I have to find the amount of the equal payments if the money, at present, is worth 10% simple interest using a focal date of two years.

I'm at a loss here!!
 
Let's see.
Are these debts compounded on each other? Is the 500 of the first year part of the 1500 of the second?
 
According to your first post, your grand total of debt, including interest, is $4818.
So after the first $1000 payment, the total of debt left will be $3818.
$3818/2 is $1909.
So your equal payments will be $1909.
Is this your question? Please tell me if I answered the wrong question.
