Alison is 28 years old and plans to retire at age 65 with 1,060,000 in her retirement account. What amount would she have to set aside now in investment paying 7% annual interest if the compounding is done daily? (Assume 365 days in a year.)
Future value of investment is calculated as: F= P*(1+(r/n))^(n*t); where F is Future value of the investment, P is Present value of the investment, r is the annual interest rate, n is number of times compounded per year and t is the number of years.
Given that the final amount should be 1060000. Number of years is 65-28= 37 Years, r is 7%, n is 365, becuase it was a daily compounding.
On Substituting, we get,
1060000= P*(1+7%/365)^(37*365)
1060000= P*13.326
P= 1060000/13.326
P= $79540.99
So, She should keep aside an amount of $79540.99
