Adam is planning to retire after eight years, so he decided to
make an annual contribution of $11,000 to his saving account at the
end of each year for the next six years. If the saving account
earns 1.9% interest annually, how much can be withdrawn at the end
of year eight?
hint: the saving account will continue to earn interest on the current money in it even after stopping to contribute to it.
Given that,
Adam will deposit PMT = $11000 at the end of each year for next t = 6 year.
Interest rate earned = 1.9% annually
So, 1st calculating account value at the end of year 6 using FV formula of annuity,
V6 = PMT*((1+r)^t - 1)/r = 11000*((1.019)^6 - 1)/0.019 = $69215.56
So, account value after 8 year = V6*(1+r)^2 = 69215.56*1.019^2 = $71870.74
So, Adam can withdraw $71870.74 at the end of 8 years.
