The investment would likely be $29,708.18 in six years' time

Explanation:

The $17000 receivable in two years would be invested for eight years less two years, in other words, it would be invested for only 6 years at the rate of 9.75 per year.

The formula applicable here is FV=PV * (1+r) ^n

FV represents future value of the investment which is unknown

PV is the amount invested, that is $17000

r is the rate at 9.75%

n is the number year is 6 years

FV=$17000 * (1+0.0975) ^6

FV=$29708.18

Six years is the applicable time horizon for the investment as the funds are receivable in two years' time
