    The investment would likely be $29,708.18 in six years' time

    Explanation:

    The $17000 receivable in two years would be invested for eight years less two years, in other words, it would be invested for only 6 years at the rate of 9.75 per year.

    The formula applicable here is FV=PV * (1+r) ^n

    FV represents future value of the investment which is unknown

    PV is the amount invested, that is $17000

    r is the rate at 9.75%

    n is the number year is 6 years

    FV=$17000 * (1+0.0975) ^6

    FV=$29708.18

    Six years is the applicable time horizon for the investment as the funds are receivable in two years' time
