To help you reach a $16,000 goal 8 years from now, your father offers to give you $4,000 now.
You plan to get a part-time job and make five additional deposits, one at the end of each year. (The
first deposit is made at the end of the first year.) If all your money is deposited in a bank that pays
6% interest, how large must your annual deposit be?
Suppose you plan to have $40,000 in 10 years from now and you can invest your savings at 2% compounded continuously. Assuming you can save
the same amount of money each year, how much do you need to save on a yearly basis in order to achieve your goal? Hint: Treat your savings as an
income stream.
Yearly savings (exact value) = 3,613.32
x dollars
Yearly savings (rounded to the nearest cent) = 3,613.32
dollars
