You decide you want your child to be a millionaire. You have a
daughter today and you deposit $59,000 in an investment account
that earns 7.5% per year. The money in the account will be
distributed to your daughter whenever the total reaches $3,750,000.
How old will your daughter be when she gets the money (rounded to
the nearest year)?
Please show work
You deposit $59,000 in an account on the day your daughter is born.
Future Value of the Investment you want to accumulate = $3750,000
Calculating the no of years it would take to accumulate the amount using FV of annuity due formula:-
Where, C= Periodic Payments = $59,000
r = Periodic Interest rate = 7.5%
n= no of periods
Future Value =$3750,000
Taking Log on both sides,
0.7351493084 = n*0.031408464252
n = 23.41
So, it would take 23 years to accumulate $3750,000
Thus, your daughter would be ''23 years" old when she can gets the money
