Respuesta :

If the annual cost of a college education is expected to be $30,000 when your child enrolls in college in 18 years, you must earn 8.87% in annual rate on your investment to cover the cost of their first year.

Let's assume your child has just been born.

So time t = 18 years

Future value (annual cost) = $30,000

Present Value P = $6500

rate of interest r=?

F=P*(1+r)^t

30000 = 6500* (1+r)^18

(1+r)^18 = 30000/6500

(1+r)^18 = 300/65

1+r  = (4.615)^(1/18)

1+r  = 1.08868

r = 0.08868

r = 8.87%

hence annual rate should be 8.87%

The term annual rate describes the annual interest that is produced by a payment that is owed to investors or levied to borrowers. The annual percentage rate, or APR, is a measure of the real cost of borrowing money over the course of a investment loan or the income generated by an investment.

Consumers may investment compare lenders, credit cards, and investment goods using the annual rate which gives them a concrete number to work with.
