    It will take 18 years and 339 days to reach the goal.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    You expect to receive $37,000 at graduation in two years. You plan on investing it at 9.5 percent until you have $172,000.

    First, we need to calculate the time that will take 37,000 to reach 172,000. Then, we sum up to 2 years.

    To calculate the number of years, we need to use the following variation of the final value formula:

    FV=PV * (1+i) ^n

    Isolating n:

    n=[ln (FV/PV) ]/ln (1+r)

    n=[ln (172,000/37,000) ] / ln (1.095) = 16.93 years

    To be more accurate:

    0.93*365 = 339 days

    Now, we aggregate for 2 years.

    It will take 18 years and 339 days to reach the goal.
