Effective interest rate = 10.45 %
Thus ; the the amount of money that must be invested now is the present value with the annuity of $7, 000 per year for 12 years, starting eight years from now.

PV = 7000 × 6.666056912 × 0.4515171371
PV = $21068.87
Thus; the amount of money that must be invested now is $21068.87
