1. You have 250,000 In an IRA at the time you retire and want to invest this money into Funds A and B, then
2. Fund A pays 1.2% (as a decimal 1.2% is 0.012) annually, then is annual interest income in Fund A.
Fund B pays 6.2% (as a decimal 6.2% is 0.062) annually, then is annual interest income in Fund B.
Since Fund A and Fund B produce an annual interest income of $8,000, then
3. Solve the system of equations:
Express x from first equation and substitute it into the second equation
Multiply this equation by 1000:
Then
Answer: you have to fund $150,000 in Fund A and $100,000 in Fund B.
