Question 1103169: Ann and Tom want to establish a fund for their grandson's college education. What lump sum must they deposit at at 7.1% annual interest rate, compounded quarterly, in order to have 30,000 in the fund at the end of 15 years? Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! P=Po(1+r/n)^nt, compound interest formula
30000=Po(1+.071/4)^60; 4 compoundings per year for 15 years
30000=2.8738 Po, don't round and divide by the full unrounded number.
Po=$10438.90.
