The terms of a single parent's will indicate that a child will receive an ordinary annuity of $18,000 per year from age 18 to age 24 (so the child can attend college) and that the balance of the estate goes to a niece. If the parent dies on the child's 10th birthday, how much money must be removed from the estate to purchase the annuity? (Assume an interest rate of 6%, compounded annually. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
