frank received 380,000 dollars on his 30th birthday.
\n" ); document.write( "he invest it at 5.3% compounded semi-annually until his 60th birthday.
\n" ); document.write( "how much will it provide at the end of each half year for the next 10 years (until his 70th birthday).\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "first you need to get the future value of 300,000 for 30 years.
\n" ); document.write( "formula is f = p * (1 + r) ^ n
\n" ); document.write( "f is the future value
\n" ); document.write( "p is the present value
\n" ); document.write( "r is the interest rate per time period.
\n" ); document.write( "n is the number of time periods.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "formula becomes:
\n" ); document.write( "f = 380,000 * (1 + .053/2) ^ (30 * 2) = 1,825,243.5326.
\n" ); document.write( ".053/2 is the interest rate per half year.
\n" ); document.write( "30 * 2 is the number of half years.
\n" ); document.write( "380,000 is the present value.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "at the end of the 30 year period, he has 1,825,24.536 to draw from at the end of each half year for the next 10 years.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the formula to use is the annuity from a present value formula with end of time period payments.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that formula is shown below:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ANNUITY FOR A PRESENT AMOUNT WITH END OF TIME PERIOD PAYMENTS\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a = (p*r)/(1-(1/(1+r)^n))\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a is the annuity.
\n" ); document.write( "p is the present amount.
\n" ); document.write( "r is the interest rate per time period.
\n" ); document.write( "n is the number of time periods.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that formula becomes:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a = (1825243.536*.053/2)/(1-(1/(1+.053/2)^(10*2))) = 118,749.5326.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the future value from the first formula becomes the present value in the second formula.
\n" ); document.write( "the interest rate is still .053/2.
\n" ); document.write( "the number of time periods becomes 10*2.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he will be able to draw 118,749.5326 at the end of each half year period for the next 10 years until he's 70.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you could have solved this using a financial calculator as well.
\n" ); document.write( "here are the results from using the financial calculator online at https://arachnoid.com/finance/index.html\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"$$$\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "this calculator requires percent, not rate.
\n" ); document.write( "if the present value is entered as negative, the future value comes out at positive.
\n" ); document.write( "the time periods have to be specific, i.e. 60 rather than 30/2 or 20 rather than 20/2.
\n" ); document.write( "the interest rate has to be specific, i.e. 2.65 rather than 5.3/2.
\n" ); document.write( "the first use of the calculator finds the future value.
\n" ); document.write( "that future value becomes the present value in the second use of the calculator.
\n" ); document.write( "10 years * 2 is entered as 20 in the second use of the calculator.
\n" ); document.write( "the present value is entered as negative and the payment per time period comes out positive.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you get the same answer whether you use the calculator or the formula, as you should.
\n" ); document.write( "this calculator, however, rounds your answers to the nearest penny.\r
