Q-1)
Future Value to accumulate when yoou are 65 = $1,000,000
You will start saving from age 20 and will make 45 equal annual payments. Since, the paymnet starts at age 20 we will use Present Value of annuity due formula to calculate the amount need to be saved each year:-
Where, C= Periodic Payments
r = Periodic Interest rate = 8%
n= no of periods = 45
C = $2395.63
So, the amount need to be saved each year is $2395.63
Q-2)
Future Value to accumulate when you are 65 = $1,000,000
You will start saving from age you are born and will make 65 equal annual payments. Since, the paymnet starts at age you are born we will use Present Value of annuity due formula to calculate the amount need to be saved each year:-
Where, C= Periodic Payments
r = Periodic Interest rate = 8%
n= no of periods = 65
