Answer:

Results are below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Today, average yearly tuition and fees for one year at the university are about $10,350.

I will assume a yearly interest rate of 8%.

First, we need to calculate the total amount needed:

Future value (FV)= 10,350*4= $41,400

Now, using the following formula, the annual deposit required:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

Isolating A:

A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}

A= (41,400*0.08) / [(1.08^15) - 1]

A= $7,194.22
