Suppose that a family wants to start a college fund for their child. If they can get a rate of 5.5% , compounded monthly,
and want the fund to have a value of $35,450 after 20 years, how much should they deposit monthly? Assume an
ordinary annuity and round to the nearest cent.
a. $81.38
b. $80.01
c. $11,829.97
d. $11,776.00

Respuesta :

The monthly deposit should be $81.38.

An ordinary annuity is a fixed payment made for a fixed amount of time at the end of each period.

The formula to determine the monthly deposit is:

Future value / annuity factor

Annuity factor = {[(1+r)^n] - 1} / r

Where:

  • r = interest rate = 5.5 / 12 = 0.4583%
  • n = 20 x 12 = 240

35,450 / [(1.004583)^240 - 1] / 0.004583 = $81.38
