Answer:

Explanation:

You need to use the Inflation-Adjusted Return formula:

$InflationAdjustedReturn=\frac{1+return}{1+inflationrate}-1$

So, basically you need to calculate it year by year. You can use excel, or an online calculator. I will attached you a link where you can find a good one. But this would be the process

$InflationAdjusted ReturnYear1=\frac{1+return}{1+inflationrate}-1=\frac{1+50000}{1+0.05}-1=47,619$

$InflationAdjusted ReturnYear2=\frac{1+returnyear1}{1+inflationrate}-1=\frac{1+47,619}{1+0.05}-1=45,351$

$InflationAdjusted ReturnYear3=\frac{1+returnyear2}{1+inflationrate}-1=\frac{1+45,351}{1+0.05}-1=43,192$

And so on...

$InflationAdjusted ReturnYear20=\frac{1+returnyear19}{1+inflationrate}-1=\frac{1+19,787}{1+0.05}-1=18,844$

Keep in mind that I did not write all decimals. You need to consider them if you want an exact answer

Farrell wants to retire in six years. To have sufficient assets to fund retirement, Farrell needs to accumulate an additional $4

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

$73,070.5

Explanation:

Inflation erodes the value of money. It makes more quantity of money to required to buy the same basket of food and services in the future.

With inflation, to calculate the the quantity of Dollars needed in n years time, we use the formula;

Inflated amount = h × (1 + f)^n

h= amount required today, f - inflation rate, n- number of years

So if Farrell needs $400,000 in 6 years time in real terms, with an inflation of 5% per year, he would need to have a quantity of money equal to

1.05^6 × 400,000 = $536,038.3.

To provide for $536,038.3 in 6 years time, he would need to contribute into a sinking fund on a yearly basis, an equal amount denoted as "A" in the formula below:

FV = A × ((1+r)^n - 1)/r

FV - 536,038.3, r - 8%, n = 6

536,038.3 = A × ((1+0.08 )^(6) - 1)/0.08)

536, 038.3 = A × 7.3359

536,038.3/7.3359 = A

$73,070.5 = A

Farrell should invest at the end of every year

Vlad [161]

Answer:

The initial deposit should be of: $97,439.62

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

To replace the new machine when it wears out, the company wants to establish a savings account today. The interest rate on the account is 1.9 percent per quarter and the cost of the machinery is $325,000.

To calculate the initial investment required, we need to use a variation on the simple interest future value formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

PV= present value

Isolating PV:

PV= FV/(1+i)^n

i= 0.019

n= 4*16= 64

FV= 325,000

PV= 325,000/ (1.019^64)= $97,439.62
