Question

1. Marsha wants to have $1 million in her 401(K) in 30 years. She wants to invest $5,000 a year into the 401(K).  About how much more than $5,000 a year will she need to invest each year to meet her goal of $1 million if all investments can earn 8%?

No additional amount as $5,000 a year will be enough to exactly meet her goal.

She will need to invest $3,828 more each year and meet her goal.

She can actually meet her goal by investing $1,091 less each year [investing $3,909 vice $5,000] and meet her goal.

She will need to invest about $11,029 more each year to meet her goal.

Explanation / Answer

correct option is "B" -she will need to invest $ 3,828 more each year and meet her goal

Future value = (annual cash flow *FVAF@8%,,30years) +(annual cash flow -additional *FVAF@8%,30years)

1,000,000 = (5000 * 113.2832 ) + (X *113.2832)

1,000,000 = 566,416.06 + 113.2832X

113.2832X = 1,000,000 -566,416.06

X = 433,583.94 / 113.2832

   =$ 3827.43 (Approx 3828)
