C. $51,300.05
D. $47.411.08
E. $53.901.15

Respuesta :

              FV = A((1 + r/m)nm  -1)      

                             r/m

$1,130,000  =    A(1 + 0.043/12)2x12  - 1)

                                 0.043/12

$1,130,000 =     A(1 + 0.003583)24  - 1)

                                0.0035833

$1,130,000 =     A(1.003583)24 – 1)

                               0.0035833

$1,130,000 = A(25.01329)

A = $1,130,000/25.01329342

A = $45,175.98

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

In this case, there is need to apply future value of annuity formula where the future value is $1,130000, interest rate is 4.3%, number of compounding periods in a year is 12 and number of years is 2. We will make A (monthly saving) the subject of the formula.
