A long time ago, your Uncle put aside some money in a savings account that you are bound to receive on your 30th birthday (in 5 years). He doesn’t like taking risks, so his savings instrument of choice has always been the bank term deposit.

He just locked the money, currently $14704.76, in for one last 5-year term at the local bank at a rate of 8%. 

Your Uncle actually funded the account by a lump sum payment some 15 years ago. He first locked the money into a 5-year term deposit at  8%. After that, he renewed for another 5-year term at 9.5%, and then another at 6%. How much money must he have deposited 15 years ago?
