Question

Sara and Joe are two students who are the same age, share the same birthday, and are planning for their eventual retirement.  The task for this problem is to compare each of their retirement investment strategies by analyzing the information provided and then answering the questions that follow. 

 

Note:  No formulas are necessary to answer the questions asked in this problem.  Please analyze and use only the information provided in answering the parts to this question.

 

Sara’s Strategy:  On each of her birthdays, beginning on her 20th and ending on her 30th, Sara deposits $1000 in an investment account (a total of 11 deposits).   After her 30th birthday deposit, she leaves the total amount in her account but does not add anything to it.

 

Joe’s Strategy:  On each of his birthdays, beginning on his 30th, Joe continues to deposit $1000 in an investment account.

 

Both the graph and the table on the next page represent the amount of money (rounded to the nearest dollar) in Sara’s and Joe’s respective accounts on their birthdays after any deposits are made (if any are made) up until age 62.  Also, both the graph and table of values were created under the assumption that both Sara and Joe are investing in the same type of account that earns 8% interest compounded continuously.

 

  1. When Sara is 40 years old, how much will she have in her account?

 

  1. When Joe is 40 years old, how much will he have in his account?

 

  1. Find the percentage increase in Sara’s account between age 50 and 54.

 

  1. At what age will Joe catch up to Sara?

 

  1. At age 62, how much total out-of-pocket money has Sara deposited in her account?

 

  1. At age 62, how much total out-of-pocket money has Joe deposited in his account?
