Question

You want to have $18,000 in 9 years for a dream vacation. If you can earn an interest rate of .5 percent per month, how much will you have to deposit today

Answer 1

$10,503.59

Step-by-step explanation:

This question requires us to find how much you have to deposit today if:

Fv = 18,000

Time = 9 years

PV= fv/(1 + i)^n

N = 9 X 12 = 108

I/y = 0.5%

PV = $18,000 / 1.005^108

= $10,503.59

Therefore what you have to deposit today is $10,503.59
