(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal Places, (e.g., 32.16)) How much do you have to save each month if you wait 25 years before you begin your deposits? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal Places, (e.g., 32.16))Explanation / Answer
let x be the savings per month
=>
a)
x * [(1+10.8%/12)^480 -1]/10.8%/12 = 1000000
=>
x = 123.71
b)
x * [(1+10.8%/12)^300 -1]/10.8%/12 = 1000000
=> x = 656.88
c)
x * [(1+10.8%/12)^180 -1]/10.8%/12 = 1000000
=>
x = 2240.70
