Her father will make six equal annualdeposits into her account; the first deposit today and the sixth on the day she starts college.How large must each of the six payments be? (Hint: Calculate the cost (inflated at 6%) foreach year of college and find the total present value of those costs, discounted at 9%, as ofthe day she enters college. Then find the compounded value of her initial $10,000 on thatsame day. The difference between the PV of costs and the amount that would be in the savingsaccount must be made up by the…
