<PRE><B>Question 288841</B>
Suppose that you plan to need $60000 in twelve years when your child starts attending college. 
You want to invest to an account yielding 5.2% interest, compounded monthly. How much should you invest?
--------
Equation:
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
----
60000 = P(1+(0.052/12))^(12*12)
---
60000 = P(1.004333)^144
---
P = 60000/1.8639
P = $32191.19
