In 11 years you are planning on retiring and buying a house in Oviedo, Florida. The house you are looking at currently costs $140 comma 000 and is expected to increase in value each year at a rate of 6 percent. Assuming you can earn 13 percent annually on your investments, how much must you invest at the end of each of the next 11 years to be able to buy your dream home when you retire?
Price of the house at the end of 11 year | ||||||
= Current price * (1+r)^n | ||||||
Where, | ||||||
r= price growth rate | ||||||
n= no of years | ||||||
= $140000* (1+0.06)^11 | ||||||
$ 2,65,761.80 | ||||||
Hence we need to invest at the end of each year so that | ||||||
which can give us $265761.80 | ||||||
F = P * ([1 + I]^N - 1 )/I | ||||||
Where, | ||||||
F= Future Value | ||||||
P= Periodic Payment | ||||||
I= Interest Rate | ||||||
N= Number of years | ||||||
265761.80 = P*(1+0.13)^11 -1 /0.13 | ||||||
265761.80*0.13 =2.835861 P | ||||||
P =12182.91 | ||||||
Therefore we need to invest 12182.91 at the end of each year |
