d. What type of a problem is this?
Explanation / Answer
a. Future value of annuity calculation:
required amount at the age of 65= 1000000
periodic payament= P
effective interest rate per annum (i)= %
number of periods (n) = 65-25= 40
Future value of annuity= P* [ (1+r)^n -1 ]/r
1000000= p* [ (1+0.1)^40 -1]/ 0.1 = p* 442.5926
P= 1 000 000/ 442.5926= 2259.41
by depositing every year 2259.41 for 40 years by the age of 65 1M will be received
b. All the same interest per month= 10%/12= 0.83333 and number of periods= 40*12= 480
1000000 = P* [(1+0.0083333)^480 -1]/0.0083333 = P*6324.08
P= 158
Monthly 158 should be set aside to earn 1M by the age of 65
c. per month interest= 11%/12= 0.91667%
1000000= P *[(1+0.009167)^480 -1]/ 0.0091667
P= 116
monthly deposit should by 116
d. It is future value of annuity calculation
