A couple plans to pay their child’s college tuition for 4 years starting 18 years from now. The current annual cost of college is C$7,000, and they expect this cost to rise at an annual rate of 5 percent. In their planning, they assume that they can earn 6 percent annually.
How much must they put aside each year, starting next year, if they plan to make 17 equal payments?
