Out of pocket

[SIZE="5"]Al wanted his father to give him an allowance of $1.00 a week, but his father refused to go higher than 50 cents. After they had argued about it for a while, Al (who was pretty smart in arithmetic) said:

'' Tell you what, Dad. Suppose we do it this way. Today is the first of April. You give me a penny today. Tomorrow, give me two pennies. The day after tomorrow, give me four pennies. Each day, give me twice as many pennies as you did the day before.
''For how long?'' asked Dad looking wary.

''Just for the month of April,'' said Al. ''Then I won't ask you for any more money for the rest of my life.''

''Okay,'' Dad said quickly. ''It's a deal!''

How much money will Dad have to fork over if he keeps his agreement?
