Luis has $180,000 in his retirement account at his present company. Because he is assuming a position with another company, Luis is planning to "roll over" his assets to a new account. Luis also plans to put $3000/quarter into the new account until his retirement
25 years from now. If the new account earns interest at the rate of 4.5% / year compounded quarterly, how much will Luis have in his account at the time of his retirement? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

4-51. A cash flow series increases geometrically at the
rate of 6% per year. The initial payment in the first
year is $5000 with increasing annual payment ending
at the end of 20 years. The interest rate in effect is
15% compounded annually for the first eight years and
5% compounded annually for the 12 remaining years.
Find the present amount that is equivalent to the cash
flow? (4.12)
4-68. Determine the value of W on the right-hand side of
the accompanying diagram (see Figure P4-68) that makes
the two cash-flow diagrams equivalent when i = 12% per
year. (4.10)
