A trust fund for a ten year old child is being set up by a single payment so that at an age of 21 the child will receive $27,000. find how much the payment is if an interest rate of 6% compounded semi-annually is assumed.
***
Compound Interest Formula: A=P(1+r/n)^nt, P=initial investment, r=interest rate, n=number of compounding periods per year,t=number of years, A=amt after t-years.
..
For given problem:
P=(to solve)
r=.06
n=2
A=27000
t=11 yrs
..
27000=P(1+.06/2)^11n
27000=P(1+.03)^22
27000=P(1.03)^22
P=27000/(1.03)^22
P=14091
single payment for trust fund=$14,091
