Question
(Complex present value) You would like to have $44,000 in 12 years. To accumulate this amount you plan to deposit each year an equal sum in the bank, which will earn 7 percent interest compounded annually. Your first payment will be made at the end of the year. a. How much must you deposit annually to accumulate this amount? b. If you decide to make a large lump-sum deposit today instead of the annual deposits, how large should this lump-sum deposit be? (Assume you can earn 7 percent on this deposit.) c. At the end of 5 years you will receive $9,000 and deposit this in the bank toward your goal of $44,000 at the end of 12 years. In addition to this deposit, how much must you deposit in equal annual deposits to reach your goal? (Again assume you can earn 7 percent on this deposit.)Explanation / Answer
Ans a) Presnet value of annuity = annual payment * ( 1 - (1+r)^(-n))/r
44000 = annual payment * (1 - 1.07^(-12))/.07
Annual payment = $5539.7
Ans b) Amount = principal * (1+r)^n
44000 = principal * 1.07^12
Lump-sum amount = $19536.53
Ans c) Future value of $9000 at the end of 12 year is given by following formula
Present value = 9000*(1.07)^7 = $14452
Remaining amount = $44000 - $14452 = $29548
Using the first formula we will find the annual amount which is equal to $3720.2
