    So let's start with the cost of the car

    It would be 15,000 in 4 years.

    Now that we have that, we will now multiply 4 by 10%, which will equal 40.

    Now, divide 40 by 15000 to get to 3750

    Mathew should invest $10,104.37.

    A = $15,000 future value

    A = P (1 + r/4) ^n

    P = A / ((1 + r/4) ^n)

    P = 15000 / ((1 + 0.10/4) ^16)

    P = $10,104.37
