Answer:
Annual deposit= $7,648.27
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
A beach house in Southern California now costs $350,000.
Inflation rate= 5% per year
Interest rate= 13% annual
Number of years= 20
We need to find an annual payment to be made at the end of each year to reach the $350,000 goal.
We need to use the following formula of the future value:
FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i
A= annual deposit
Isolating A:
A= (FV*i)/{[(1+i)^n]-1}
Real interest rate= 0.13 - 0.05= 008
A= (350,000*0.08) / [(1.08^20) - 1]= $7,648.27
