On January 1, 2006, a graduate student developed a 5-year financial plan which would provide enough money at the end of her graduate work (January 1, 2011) to open a business of her own. Her plan was to deposit $8,000 per year for 5 years, starting immediately, into an account paying 10 percent compounded annually. Her activities proceeded according to plan except that at the end of her third year (1/1/09) she withdrew $5,000 to take a Caribbean cruise, at the end of the fourth year (1/1/10) she withdrew $5,000 to buy a used Prelude, and at the end of the fifth year (1/1/11) she had to withdraw $5,000 to pay to have her dissertation typed. Her account, at the end of the fifth year, was less than the amount she had originally planned on by how much? |
The difference amount will be only the future amount of withdrawals made.
As the compounding is made at the beginning of each period, the withdrawals made at the end of this year will have interest effect from the beginning of next year
Future Value = Amount * (1+i)n
