Question

Magnus wishes to have $1,500,00 when he retires in 44 years. What are the monthly payments he must deposit into an account that earns 2.5%?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Future value of annuity = P * [ (1+r)^n  - 1 ] /r 

Where,

Future value of annuity = 150000

n = 44

r = 2.50% or 0.025

P = Monthly payments 

 

 

 

 

Step 2

Future value of annuity = P * [ (1+r)^n  - 1 ] /r 

150000= P * [ (1+.025)^44  - 1 ] /0.025

150000= P * [ (1.025)^44  - 1 ] /0.025

150000= P * [ (2.96381  - 1 ] /0.025

150000= P * [ 1.96381 ] /0.025

150000= P * 78.55232

P =150000 / 78.55232

P =$1909.55
