Answer to Question 1

At the beginning of the first year of college:
PV = 10,000 + (10,000/0.08 )  1-1/(1.08 )3
= 10,000 + 25,770.96 = 35,770.96
PMT = 3,500, r= 8, n = 7
FVA = 3,500(1.08 )7-1/0.08 = 3,500(8.923 ) = 31,230
Ashley will need 4,541 (= 35,770.96 - 31,230 ) additional money to pay for her college education.
