Today you have $100,000 in your investment account, which will grow by 7.5% annually. If you keep investing $600 every month, how many months does it take for your account balance to increase to $300,000?
Solution
Amount Invested today = $100,000
Monthly deposit = $600
Annual Interest Rate = 7.5%
Monthly Interest Rate = 0.625%
Desired Accumulation = $300,000
Let it will take ‘n’ months to have $300,000
$100,000 * FVIF(0.625%, n) + $600 * FVIFA(0.625%, n) = $300,000
Using financial calculator:
I = 0.625%
PV = 100000
PMT = 600
FV = -300000
N = 112.88
So, it will take 112.88 months to have $300,000
