5.1% compounded daily=0.00013972602 per day
18 x 365= 6570 compounding periods
FV=P(1+r)^qt where FV is future value, P is the principal (or initial deposit), r is the periodic interest rate, q is the number of periods in a year, and t is the time, in years. So:
35,000= P * (1.00013972602)^6570
P=$13977 needs to be deposited initially in order to achieve the desired goal
