Answer:
$97,331.30
Explanation:
To calculate the amount available on the daughter's 18th birthday the following should be taken into cognisance
First, the yearly deposit increases by 5% every year, therefore year one is $2,000 but year 2 is $2,000 x1.05= $2,100 and continuing like that.
Secondly, the total deposit pre year is calculated as annual deposit for the year (1+interest rate)∧year on a descending basis.
It is therefore as follows;
Years Annual deposit Total value of deposit including interest
1 $2,000.00 $2,000(1+0.07)∧17= $6,317.63
2 $2,100.00 $2,100(1+0.07)∧16= $6,199.54
