ADM 2350 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Savings Account
Document Summary
A father is planning a savings program to put his daughter through college. She plans to enroll at the university in 5 years, and it should take her 4 years to complete her education. Currently, the cost per year (for everything- food, clothing, tuition, books, transportation, and so forth) is ,000, but a 5 percent inflation rate in these costs is forecasted. The daughter recently received ,000 from her grandfather"s estate; this money, which is invested in a bank account paying 9% interest compounded annually, will be used to help meet the costs of the daughter"s education. The rest of the costs will be met by money the father will deposit in the savings account. He will make equal deposits to the account in each year from now until his daughter starts college. These deposits will also earn 9 % interest. Pv(at beginning of 1st year of college) = 12763 + 13401[pvif 9%, 1] + 14071[pvif 9%, 2] +
