161. Steve and Ed are cousins who were both born on the same day, and both turned 25 today. Their grandfather began
putting $2,500 per year into a trust fund for Steve on his 20th birthday, and he just made a 6th payment into the fund. The
grandfather (or his estate’s trustee) will make 40 more $2,500 payments until a 46th and final payment is made on Steve’s
65th birthday. The grandfather set things up this way because he wants Steve to work, not be a “trust fund baby,” but he
also wants to ensure that Steve is provided for in his old age.
Until now, the grandfather has been disappointed with Ed, hence has not given him anything. However, they recently
reconciled, and the grandfather decided to make an equivalent provision for Ed. He will make the first payment to a trust
for Ed today, and he has instructed his trustee to make 40 additional equal annual payments until Ed turns 65, when the
41st and final payment will be made. If both trusts earn an annual return of 8%, how much must the grandfather put into
Ed’s trust today and each subsequent year to enable him to have the same retirement nest egg as Steve after the last
payment is made on their 65th birthday?

164. John and Daphne are saving for their daughter Ellen’s college education. Ellen just turned 10 (at t = 0), and she will
be entering college 8 years from now (at t = 8). College tuition and expenses at State U. are currently $14,500 a year, but
they are expected to increase at a rate of 3.5% a year. Ellen should graduate in 4 years⎯if she takes longer or wants to go

8, 9, 10, and 11).
So far, John and Daphne have accumulated $15,000 in their college savings account (at t = 0). Their long-run financial
