Every six months, Jamison deposits $450 into an interest-bearing account to save for her children’s tuition. The interest rate on the account is 6.8% compounding semiannually. What is the present value of the investment if Jamison’s children leave for college in 8 years? $4,600.84 $4,307.90 $5,483.45 $5,669.89
