Question 14
After graduation, you plan to work for Rocket Corporation for 13 years and then start your own business. You expect to save and deposit $7,000 a year for the first 6 years (t = 1 through t = 6) and $12,500 annually for the following 7 years (t = 7 through t = 13). The first deposit will be made a year from today. In addition, your mother just gave you a $20,00 graduation gift as an incentive to work hard which you will deposit immediately (t = 0). If the account earns 6.5% compounded annually, how much will you have when you start your business 13 years from now?
