Answer 1

For Ann and Tom to have ​$20,000 at the end of 10 ​years, they must deposit a sum of $6,131.14.

What is the principal?

To calculate the sum of money they must deposit, use the compound interest formula.

From the compound interest formula;

P = A / ( 1 + r/n )^(nt)

Given that;

• Final amount A = 20,000
• Interest rate r = 12% = 12/100 = 0.12
• Compound n = quarterly = 4
• Time t = 10 years
• Principal P = ?

P = A / ( 1 + r/n )^(nt)

P = 20,000 / ( 1 + 0.12/4 )^(4×10)

P = 20,000 / ( 1.03)^40

P = 20,000 / 3.26203779

P = $6,131.14

Therefore, for Ann and Tom to have ​$20,000 at the end of 10 ​years, they must deposit a sum of $6,131.14.
