Suppose a young couple deposits $1000 at the end of each quarter in an account that earns 7.6%, compounded quarterly, for a period of 8 years. After the 8 years, they start a family and find they can contribute only $200 per quarter. If they leave the money from the first 8 years in the account and continue to contribute $200 at the end of each quarter for the next 19 years, how much will they have in the account (to help with their child’s college expenses)?

The total amount in the account after 27 years would be $90,945.45.
