You plan on saving for a large home improvement project using the following cash flows: $50,000 today, $25,000 next year, and $10,000 the following year. The account earns a 10% return per year.

We need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 50,000*1.10^2= 60,500

FV= 25,000*1.1= 27,500

FV= 10,000

Total= $98,000
