Solve the exercise below using the timeline. Explain all steps you followed. Attach your solution here!

30. Your younger sister, Linda, will start college in five years. She has just informed your parents that she wants to go to Hampton University, which will cost $17,000 per year for four years (cost assumed to come at the end of each year). Anticipating Lindas ambitions, your parents started investing $2,000 per year five years ago and will continue to do so for five more years. Use 10 percent as the appropriate interest rate throughout this problem (for discounting or compounding).

How much will your parents have to save each year for the next five years in addition to the $2,000 they are currently saving to have the necessary funds for Lindas education? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
