Business Finance Homework Help

A father is now planning a savings program to put his daughter through college. She is 13, she plans to enroll at the university in 5 years, and she should graduate in 4 years. Currently, the annual cost (for everything – food, clothing, tuition, books, transportation, and so forth) is $18,000, but these costs are expected to increase by 6% annually. The college requires total payment at the start of the year. She now has $8,500 in a college savings account that pays 9% annually. Her father will make six equal annual deposits into her account; the first deposit today and sixth on the day she starts college. How large must each of the six payments be?
