Question

After graduation, you plan to work for Dynamo Corporation for 12 years and then start your own business. You expect to save and deposit $7,500 a year for the first 6 years (t 1 through t-6) and $15,000 annually for the following 6 years (t - 7 through t 12). The first deposit will be made a year from today. In addition, your grandfather just gave you a $32,500 graduation gift which you will deposit immediately (t 0). If the account earns 9% compounded annually, how much will you have when you start your business 12 years from now?

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Future value (12 years from now)

FV = A (FVIFA @ I, n) (1+ I)^6 + A (FVIFA @ I, n) + 32,500 (1 + I)^12

FV = 7,500 (FVIFA @ 9%, 6) (1.12)^6 + 15,000 (FVIFA @ 9%, 6) + 32,500 (1.09)^12

FV = $94,630.39 + $112,850.02 + $91,411.61

FV = $298,892
