Question

You are a financial adviser working with a client who wants to retire in eight years. The client has a savings account with a local bank that pays 9% annual interest. The client wants to deposit an amount that will provide her with $1,000,000 when she retires. Currently, she has $300,000 in the account. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, and PVA of $1) (Use the appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)How much additional money should she deposit now to provide her with $1,000,000 when she retires?

Answer 1

Answer:

$201,866.28

Explanation:

Using a financial calculator, input the following to calculate the the amount that would be required today to meet the goal; calculate present value (PV).

Future value ; FV = 1,000,000

Recurring payment PMT = 0

Total duration of the investment ; N = 8

Annual interest rate; I/Y = 9%

then  compute the present value ; CPT PV = $501,866.28

Since she already has $300,000, find the balance;

Additional money needed = $501,866.28 -$300,000 = $201,866.28
