You want to have $11,500 in 9 years for a dream vacation. If you can earn an interest rate of .8 percent per month, how much will you have to deposit today?
The amount is computed as follows:
Present value = Future value / (1 + r)n
So, the amount will be computed as follows:
= $ 11,500 / (1 + 0.008 / 12) 9 x 12
= $ 11,500 / 1.0006666667108
= $ 10,701.36 Approximately
