Juanita Domingo's parents want to establish a college trust for her. They want to make 16 quarterly withdrawals of $2000, with the first withdrawal 3 months from now. If money is worth 6.8%, compounded quarterly, how much must be deposited now to provide for this trust?
It is an ordinary annuity.
Present Value Of An Annuity |
= C*[1-(1+i)^-n]/i] |
Where, |
C= Cash Flow per period =$2000 |
i = interest rate per period =6.8%/4 =0.017% |
n=number of period =16 |
= $2000[ 1-(1+0.017)^-16 /0.017] |
= $2000[ 1-(1.017)^-16 /0.017] |
= $2000[ (0.2364) ] /0.017 |
= $27,812.01 |
