How much money should be deposited in an account that earns 5% compounded quarterly so that it will accumulate to $75,000 in 35 years assuing this deposit is a one time deal?

Respuesta :

Given:

The compounded quarterly interest, r =5 % = 0.05 and n=4.

The amount accumulates after 35 years, A =75,000.

The period of time. t=35 years.

Required:

We need to find the deposited amount.

Explanation:

Let the deposited amount =P.

Consider the formula to find the amount in compounded interest.

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Substitute n=4, r =0.05, t=35 and A=75000 in the formula to find the deposited amount.

[tex]75000=P(1+\frac{0.05}{4})^{4\times35}[/tex]

Solve for P.

[tex]75000=P\times5.69251[/tex]

[tex]\frac{75000}{5.69251}=P[/tex][tex]P=13175.1873[/tex]

[tex]P=13175.19[/tex]

Final answer:
