A father is planning a savings program to put his daughter through college. His daughter is now 13 years old. 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 $12,500, but a 5 percent annual inflation rate in these costs is forecasted. The daughter recently received $7,500 from her grandfather’s estate; this money, which is invested in a bank account paying 8 percent interest, compounded annually, will be used to help meet the costs of the daughter’s education. The remaining costs will be met by money the father will deposit in the savings account. He will make 6 equal deposits to the account, one deposit in each year from now until his daughter starts college. These deposits will begin today and will also earn 8 percent interest, compounded annually. |

|
a. |
What will be the present value of the cost of 4 years of education at the time the daughter becomes 18? [Hint: Calculate the future value of the cost (at 5%) for each year of her education, then discount 3 of these costs back (at 8%) to the year in which she turns 18, then sum the 4 costs.] |
|
|
b. |
What will be the value of the $7,500 that the daughter received from her grandfather’s estate when she starts college at age 18? [Hint: Compound for 5 years at an 8 percent annual rate.] |
|
|
c. |
If the father is planning to make the first of 6 deposits today, how large must each deposit be for him to be able to put his daughter through college? [Hint: An annuity due assumes interest is earned on all deposits; however, the 6th deposit earns no interest—therefore, the deposits are an ordinary annuity.] |
