Multiple Choice

Steve and Ed are cousins who were both born on the same day,and both turned 25 today.Their grandfather began putting $3,200 per year into a trust fund for Steve on his 20th birthday,and he just made a 6th payment into the fund.The grandfather (or his estate's trustee) will make 40 more $3,200 payments until a 46th and final payment is made on Steve's 65th birthday.The grandfather set things up this way because he wants Steve to work,not be a "trust fund baby," but he also wants to ensure that Steve is provided for in his old age. ​
