The amount of money that should be deposited is \( \$ \) \( \square \)
(Round up to the nearest cent.)
Formulas
In the provided formulas, \( A \) is the balance in the account after \( t \) years, \( P \) is the principal investment, \( r \) is the annual interest rate in decimal form, \( n \) is the number of compounding periods per year, and Y is the investment's effective annual yield in decimal form.
\[
A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t} \quad P=\frac{A}{\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n t}} \quad A=P e^{r t} \quad Y=\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{n}-1
