Accounting

You are working as a financial planner. A couple has asked you to put together an investment plan for the education of their daughter. She is a bright seven-year-old (her birthday is today), and everyone hopes she will go to university after high school in 10 years, on her 17th birthday. You estimate that today the cost of a year of university is $13,000, including the cost of tuition, books, accommodation, food, and clothing. You forecast that the annual inflation rate will be 4.7%. You may assume that these costs are incurred at the start of each university year. A typical university program lasts 4 years. The effective annual interest rate is 6.3% and is nominal. a. Suppose the couple invests money on her birthday, starting today and ending one year before she starts university.
