Time lines cannot be constructed in situations where some of the cash flows occur annually but others occur quarterly.

Your sister turned 35 today, and she is planning to save $7,000 per year for retirement, with the first deposit to be made one year from today. She will invest in a mutual fund that's expected to provide a return of 7.5% per year.
