Question: Hello, I need help with this problem: Your parents start saving for your sister's college education. She will begin college when she turns age 18

Hello, I need help with this problem: Your parents start saving for your sister's college education. She will begin college when she turns age 18 and will need $4,000 at that time and at the end of each of the following 3 years. They will make a deposit at the end of this year in an account which pays 6 percent compounded annually, and an identical deposit at the end of each year with the last deposit occurring when she turns age 18. If an annual deposit of $1,484 will allow them to reach their goal, how old is your sister now? FV is 16,000, pmt is 1484, i is 6%, solving for n, but I keep getting an error...what is PV? Thank you!
