Laura and Tommy want to make sure their newborn can attend college. They have seen estimates that the four-year cost of in-state colleges will be $160,000 in 18 years. They ask their financial advisor (they obviously didn't take this course) how much they need to save in an annuity each year over that time if they invest at a fairly low-risk rate of six percent. What was the advisor's answer (rounded to the nearest dollar)? Hint: remember that discounting is the inverse of compounding.
