Accounting

Mary is hired by ABC Company on 1/1/85. She is eligible to qualify for the company's new hire bonus program. If an employee qualifies at year-end, she will receive a cash bonus payable in two equal installments, half on January 1 and half on July 1.

Assuming Mary qualified each year (i.e. she received her first payments on 1/1/86) and deposited her bonus in an account that pays an 8% annual effective rate of interest, what is the accumulated value of her bonus payments through 7/1/90?
