Unfortunately, Diana doesn't have enough money in her account right now. She needs to make additional contributions at the end o
f each of the next three years to be able to pay for the repairs. Her account currently has $3,500, which, along with her additional contributions, is expected to continue earning 6% annual interest. If she makes equal contributions each year, how large must each contribution be for Diana to have $8,000 after three years
1 answer:
Answer: $1,203.49
Explanation:
The equal contributions will be an annuity. The $3,500 already there will also grow at 6% for 3 years. Expression is;
8,000 = ( 3,500 * ( 1 + 6%)^3) + Contribution * Future value interest factor of annuity, 3 years, 6%
8,000 = 4,168.56 + Contribution * 3.1836
Contribution = (8,000 - 4,168.56) / 3.1836
Contribution = $1,203.49

Mr. White was the third and final owner of the talisman in W. W. Jacobs' short story "The Monkey's Paw." He plucked it from the fireplace when the previous owner, Sergeant Major Morris, tossed it there to burn and end the chain of misfortune that came with it. He is motivated mostly by curiosity, since he seems happy with his life and is financially secure.
Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."
