Question

1. You deposit $1,000 into an account each year for 10 years with the first deposit made next year.  Assuming an interest rate of 5%, the account will have a balance of $____ 10 years from today.

2.Today is your 25thbirthday.  You will begin making equal deposits on each birthday until your 65thbirthday into an account that earns 6%. The first deposit will be made on your 26thbirthday.  To attain your goal of having $1,000,000 in the account on your 65thbirthday, the deposits must be $_________.

Explanation / Answer

1. Deposit of $1000 each year @ 5% interest rate. (Deposit is made at the start of next year, i.e the end of this year)

FV of annuity = P ((1+r)^n - 1)/r

= 1000 ((1+0.05)^10 - 1)/0.05

= $ 12,577.89

2. To attain a goal of $1,000,000,

We will be making deposits every year for 40 years of equal money @ 6%.

FV of annuity = P ((1+r)^n - 1)/r

1,000,000 = P ((1+0.06)^40 -1/0.06

1,000,000 = P (154.7619)

So, P = 1,000,000/154.7619

P = $6461.54 approx.
