You just won the lottery and would like to set some money aside to pay for your child’s education. As of today, the tuition cost is $30,000 per year at the undergraduate level and $55,000 per year for a two-year master’s program. The rate of inflation for educational services is 3.5% annually and you can invest at a fixed nominal interest rate of 7% APR with annual compounding. Your child will enter a 4-year undergraduate program 16 years from today and upon graduation will immediately enroll in a two-year master’s program. Assuming tuition is to be paid at the beginning of the year, find the amount of tuition for years 1-4 of undergraduate education and years 1-2 at the graduate level.
