Question

Howmet Corporation needs $200,000 in 5 years.

Find the required quarterly payment into a sinking fund if funds are invested in an account earning 10% per year compounded quarterly.

Answer 1

:)
The formula of the future value of annuity ordinary is
Fv=pmt [(1+r/k)^(kn)-1)÷(r/n)]
So we need to solve for pmt
Pmt=fv÷[(1+r/k)^(kn)-1)÷(r/n)]
Pmt=200,000÷(((1+0.10÷4)^(4×5)
−1)÷(0.10÷4))=7,829.43...answer

Hope it helps
