Lady Lee needs TZS 57,500,000 at the end of the year 2029, and her only investment outlet
is a 9 percent long term certificate of deposit from Puzzo Bank (compounded biannually).
With the certificate of deposit, she makes an initial investment at the beginning of the year 2023.
(1) What single payment could be made at the beginning of the year 2023 to achieve this objective?
(2) What amount could Lady Lee invest at the end of each year annually up to the year 2029 to achieve this same objective?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
@Theo mistakenly determined that the deposit works 6 years.
Actually, from the beginning of the year 2023 to the end of the year 2029,
the deposit works and earns money 7 years (2029-2022 = 7 years).
So, I came to bring a correct solution.
I do not use an outside calculator, but make my calculations
using explicit standard formulas of Financial Math with all necessary explanations.
Part 1.
The formula for this 7 years deposit compounded semi-annually is
FV = ,
where X is the unknown value of the initial deposit.
From this formula,
X = = 31,048,439.58.
ANSWER to part 1. The value of the one-time initial deposit is TZS 31,048,439.58.
Part 2.
In this part 2, the situation is close to ordinary annuity account, but there is some difference.
Since the account is replenished once per year, but is compounded twice per year semi-annually,
we should and can use the scheme of the annually deposited and annually compounded ordinary annuity
with the EFFECTIVE annual multiplicative growth rate of = 1.092025.
So, we use the formula for the future value of the ordinary annuity
FV = ,
where FV is the future value of the account; P is annual payment (deposit);
r is the annual effective percentage rate presented as a decimal;
n is the number of deposits (= the number of years, in this case).
From this formula, you get for for the annual payment
P = . (1)
Under the given conditions, FV = 57,500,000; r = 0.092025; n = 7.
So, according to the formula (1), you get for the annual payment
P = = 6,211,008.91.
Answer to part 2. The necessary annual deposit value is TZS 6,211,008.91 .
