    Aunt Hilda must give him $3,039

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The trip is expected to cost a total of $10,000. Your parents have deposited $5,000 for you in a CD paying 6% interest annually, maturing three years from now. Aunt Hilda has agreed to finance the balance. If you are going to put Aunt Hilda's gift in an investment earning 10% annually over the next three years.

    First, we need to calculate the total amount of the parents investment.

    FV = PV * (1+i) ^n = 5,000 * (1.06) ^3 = $5,955

    Difference = 10,000 - 5,955 = 4,045

    Aunt investment:

    Final value = 4,045

    PV = FV / (1+i) ^n = 4,045/1.10^3 = 3,039

    Aunt Hilda must give him $3,039
