Explanation:
To find out how much you need to deposit in an account now to have a certain amount after a certain number of days, you can use the formula:
P = F / (1 + r * t)
where:
P is the present value or the amount you need to deposit now.
F is the future value or the amount you want to have in the account after a certain number of days.
r is the annual interest rate, expressed as a decimal.
t is the number of years for which the money will be invested.
In this case, you want to have $5,000 in the account in 697 days, which is equivalent to 697 / 365 = 1.91 years. The annual interest rate is 0.0375. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
P = 5000 / (1 + 0.0375 * 1.91)
Solving this equation, we find that you would need to deposit $4,921.15 in your account now to have $5,000 in the account in 697 days.
