Answer:
310,588.5
Explanation:
As is not said we can assume the 2,100 each year to be paid at the end of the year, and the 7% to be used as a compunded anually rate. So let´s first think just about the 2,100, as they are regulary payments, they can be seen as an anuity inmediate, the formula is as follows:
where sn is the future value of the regular payments, i is the interest rate and n is the number of payments and p is the amount of regular payment so in this particular case we have:
=198,367.65
So now let´s think on the gift of 29,000 as it is paid on 10 years, there will remain 20 years with an investment rate of 7% compounded anually. so there we have the classic formula of future value
where FV is the future value, PV is the present value, i is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods. Again in this particular case we have:
so the total amont will be:
total=198,367.65+112,220.85
total=310,588.5
