James and susan wishes to save 10,000 in 2 years. how much money should they set aside now at 6% compounded monthly in order to reach their goal.
=========================
2 years = 24 compounding periods
6% per yr = 0.5% per month
------------
10000 = Amt*(1.005)^24
Amt = 10000/(1.005)^24
=~ 8871.86
