Julie is going to establish a University Fund for her daughter Jade, who has just been born. She plans to make the first deposit of $5,000 on Jade’s fourth birthday and make another 8 annual deposits of this amount. After this, annual deposits of $10,000 will be made until Jade’s 18th birthday. Given the long term nature of the investment, Julie anticipates an 8% pa return.
