An insurance company is offering a new policy to its customers. Typically, the policy is bought by a parent or grandparent for a child at the childs birth. The details of the policy are as follows: The purchaser (say, the parent) makes the following six payments to the insurance company:
First birthday: $ 760
Second birthday: $ 760
Third birthday: $ 860
Fourth birthday: $ 860
Fifth birthday: $ 960
Sixth birthday : $960

After the childs sixth birthday, no more payments are made. When the child reaches age 65, he or she receives $360,000.

If the relevant interest rate is 12 percent for the first six years and 7 percent for all subsequent years, what is the value of the policy at the child's 65th birthday?

Note: Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.
