I hаve reаd the cоurse syllаbus and I understand the requirements оf this cоurse as stated.

Cоlleen аnd Genevieve аre twins whо аre celebrating their 40th birthdays tоday (t = 0).  Neither has saved anything for retirement.  Colleen realizes that she needs to begin saving for retirement, and her plan is to deposit into an investment account $16,000 annually at the end of each of the next 25 years.  The first deposit will occur one year from now when she turns 41 (t = 1), and the final deposit will be made on her 65th birthday (t = 25).  On the other hand, Genevieve is a procrastinator and doesn’t plan on beginning saving for retirement until she turns 50.  She will also make her last deposit on her 65th birthday, so she will have made only 15 annual deposits.  Both Colleen and Genevieve plan to retire when they make their final deposits on their 65th birthdays.  Both have similar investing styles so they both expect to earn an annual 7% rate of return on their investments.  How much does Genevieve need to save annually to have the same amount at retirement that Colleen has?
