Question

a person was able to invest 1,000 per month for 30 years with interest rate of 5%. 1. find out how much the person will have in 30 years.2. Do a scenario analysis with the following scenarios: A. 20 years and $1500 investment per month, B. 25 years and $800 investment

Answer 1

Answer:

1.  $832,258.64

2. $616,550.50

3. $476,407.77

Explanation:

As the question is concerned, we are to calculate the Future value for the following data

1. PV = 0

PMT = 1,000

N = 30*12 = 360

I = 5%/12

Future Value = PV (PMT, N, I)

Future Value =  PV(0, 1,000, 360,0.05/12)

Future Value =  $832,258.6354

Future Value =  $832,258.64

2.   PV = 0

PMT = 1,500

N = 20*12 = 240

I = 5%/12

Future Value = PV (PMT, N, I)

Future Value = PV  (0, 1,500,240, 0.05/12]

Future Value = 616,550.5028

Future Value = $616,550.50

3.  PV = 0

PMT = 800

N = 25*12 = 300

I = 5%/12

Future Value = PV (PMT, N, I)

Future Value =  PV (0, 800, 300, 0.05/12]

Future Value = 475,407.7668

Future Value = $476,407.77
