Alexandre would like to accumulate $1,500,000 when he retired. He can only save $5,688.65 at the end of every quarter. If he can earn 6.5% interest converted quarterly, how many years will it take him to save the amount?
Information provided:
Future value (PV)= $1,500,000
Quarterly saving= $5,688.65
Quarterly interest rate= yield to maturity (I/Y)= 6.5%/ 4= 1.6250% per quarter
The time taken to save the amount is calculated by entering the below information in a financial calculation:
FV= 1,500,000
PMT= -5,688.65
I/Y= 1.6250
Press the CPT key and N to compute the time of the bond.
The value obtained is 103.28.
Therefore, it takes 103.28/4 = 25.82 years to save the amount .
In case of any query, kindly comment on the solution.
