Answer:
Annual deposit = $326,265.88
Explanation:
The amount to be set aside annually to accumulate $2.5 million in 7 years time ca n be worked out using the future value of an ordinary annuity formula.
The formula is given as follows:
FV = A×( (1+r)^n - 1)/r).
A= FV/ ((1+r)^n - 1)/r
FV - Future value
A- annual deposit
n- number of years
r- rate of return
FV - $2.5 million
A- ?
n- 7
A=2,500,000 ÷ (1.03^7 - 1)/0.03 = 326,265.88
Annual deposit = $326,265.88
