Travis invests $10,000 today into a retirement account. he expects to earn 8 percent, compounded annually, on his money for the next 26 years. after that, he wants to be more conservative, so only expects to earn 5 percent, compounded annually. how much money will he have in his account when he retires 38 years from now, assuming this is the only deposit he makes into the account?

Relax

Respuesta :

First calculate the future value at the end of 26 years at 8%
The formula is
A=p (1+r)^t
A future value?
P present value 10000
R interest rate 0.08
T time 26 years
A=10,000×(1+0.08)^(26)
A=73,963.532119168

After that use the formula again to calculate the future value for the rest years at 5%
A=73,963.532119168×(1+0.05)^(38−26)
A=132,827.88....answer

Hope it helps!
