Suppose you want to have $400,000 for g retirement in 25 years. Your account earns 8% interest. How much would you need to deposit in the account each month?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$418

Explanation:

FV = $400,000. This is the amount you want to have in your retirement account 25 years from now

i/r = 8%/year = 0.67%/month. The interest that the account pays

n = 25 years = 25 x 12 = 300 months

PV = 0

PMT (The amount of monthly deposit required to achieve the target above. This is the missing value we need to calculate)

By using financial calculator, we obtain:

PMT = $418
