    Given:

    tuition: 180,000 per year

    period to save: 18 years

    annual rate of return : 6%

    FV = PV * (1+r) ^t

    180,000 = PV * (1 + 0.06) ¹⁸

    180,000 = PV * (1.06) ¹⁸

    PV = 180,000 / (1.06) ¹⁸ = 180,000 / 2.854 = 63,069.38

    Jack and Jill will have to invest 63,069.38 in the first year to have a total of 180,000 after 18 years.

    Using Future Value Annuity formula:

    FV of Annuity = P [{ (1+r) ^n - 1} / r]

    180,000 = P [{ (1.06) ¹⁸ - 1} / 0.06]

    180,000 = P (30.906)

    P = 180,000 / 30.906

    P = 5,824.11

    Jack and Jill will have to deposit 5,824.11 every end of the year for the total to reach 180,000 after 18 years.
