A small business owner contributes $3000 at the end of each quarter to a retirement account that earns 8% compounded quarterly. Suppose when the account reaches $150,000, the business owner increases the contributions to $4000 at the end of each quarter. What will the total value of the account be after 15 more years?
Here, we need to calculate the FV at the end of 15 years taking $150,000 as the PV.
Compounding frequency is quarterly.
No of periods = 15*4 = 60
Rate per period = 8%/4 = 2%
PMT per period = 4000
Using FV function in excel:
Therefore, FV = $948,360.78
