    Total = $14,572.964

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Spendings:

    Year 3 = $5,100

    Year 5 = $9,500

    Year 7 = $6,500

    Interest rate = 7.6 compunded annually.

    We need to determine the initial investment to cover for 3 spendings.

    We will calculate the present value of each payment, and sum them to determine the initial investment:

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n

    Year 3 = 5,100/1.076^3 = $4,093.864

    Year 5 = 9,500/1.076^5 = $6,586.61

    Year 7 = 6,500/1.076^7 = $3,892.49

    Total = $14,572.964

    TO prove it:

    FV = PV * (1+i) ^n

    FV = (14,573*1.076^3) - 5,100 = $13,054.56

    FV = (13,054.56*1.076^2) - 9,500 = $5,614.26

    FV = (5,614.26*1.076^2) - 6,500 = 0
