2. Nathan and Stephanie are saving for their daughter's college education. Their daughter,Paige, is now 8 years old and will be entering college 10 years from now (t = 10). College%3Dtuition and expenses at State U. are currently $16,000 a year and are expected to increaseat a rate of 4% a year. They expect Paige to graduate in 4 years (if Paige wants to go tograduate school, she's on her own). Tuition and other costs will be due at the beginning ofeach school year (at t = 10, 11, 12, and 13).So far, Nathan and Stephanie have built up $9,000 in the college savings account. Theirlong-run financial plan is to contribute $3,000 a year at the beginning of each of the nextfive years (at t = 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4). Then they plan to make 6 equal annual contributions atthe end of each of the following 6 years (t = 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10). Their investment accountis expected to earn 8%. How large must the annual payments be in the subsequent 6 years(t= 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) to meet their daughter's anticipated college costs?
