Question

2. You now have Birr 2,000,000 in the bank earning interest of .5 percent per month. You need Birr 3,000,000 to make a down payment on a house. You can save an additional Birr 10,000 per month. How long will it take me to accumulate the Birr 3,000,000?

Answer 1

The number of months that it would take me to accumulate the Birr 3,000,000 is 50 months.

How many months would it take to accumulate 3,000,000?

The equation that represents the total amount saved :

Total amount =amount invested +  total interest earned + total amount earned

Total interest earned = amount invested x time x interest rate

2,000,000 x 0.005 x m = 10,000m

Total amount earned = savings per month x total number of months

10,000m

3,000,000 = 2,000,000 +  10,000m + 10,000m

3,000,000 - 2,000,000 = 20,000m

1,000,000 = 20,000m

m = 50 months
