Explanation:

Double-entry accounting is a record-keeping method where a transaction is recorded in a minimum of two accounts. There is no upper ceiling on the actual number of accounts that may be used in a transaction.

Every account has two columns, with debits on the left and credit entries on the right. The aggregate of the debit entries must equal the result of all credit entries. If this happens, the transaction has balanced.  If not, the transaction is  "out of balance."

the investment was $14,174.196

a lump sum means that the father of the example made one deposit and leave it be.

we need to know the value of a capital that generated at 4.05% per year during 28 years the sum of $48,613.24

now clearing the formula to solve for capital we got:

and we reach the answer investment = $14,174.20
