You plan to retire in 35 years, and would like to have 1,000,000$ in investments. How much money would you have to invest today at a 7% annual interest rate compounded daily to reach your goal in 35 years. Assume all years have 365 days round your answer to the nearest cent

Respuesta :

Given:

You plan to retire in 35 years and would like to have 1,000,000$ in investments.

So, the time = 35 years

And A = 1,000,000

compounded daily, n = 365

Rate of the interest = r = 7% = 0.07

We will find the initial investment = P

We will use the following formula:

[tex]A=P\cdot(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Substitute with the values of A, r, n, and t

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1000000=P\cdot(1+\frac{0.07}{365})^{365\cdot35} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Solve the equation to find P

[tex]\begin{gathered} 1000000=P\cdot11.5856 \\ \\ P=\frac{1000000}{11.5856}=86,313.86 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the answer will be $86,313.86
