Answer:
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
