first 7 years:
i = .05/12 = .004166...
n = 7(12) = 84
amount after 7 years = 470(1.041666...^84 - 1)/.004166..
= 47154.47
This will accumulate for another 7 years at 7% pa, compounded monthly
i = .07/12 = .0058333...
n = 84
amount of first investment
= 47154.47(1.0058333..)^84 = 76861.50
amount of 2nd investment
= 709(1.0058333..^84 - 1)/.005833...
= 76571.28
total = $153,432.77
