person A invests 2000 on his 25th birthday until his 34th birthday.
\n" ); document.write( "on his 34th birthday he will have $27,632.90 in his account.
\n" ); document.write( "he will keep this in his account until his 65th birthday.
\n" ); document.write( "the interest rate he is earning on his investment is 7% per ear.
\n" ); document.write( "he will have $225,073.09 in his account on his 65th birthday.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "person B starts investing each year starting on his 35th birthday and ending on his 65th birthday.
\n" ); document.write( "that makes 31 years of investing.
\n" ); document.write( "he needs to invest $2,205.02 each year for 31 years so that he can have $225,073.09 in his account on his 65th birthday.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the calculation required to determine the payment person B needs to make each year for 31 years was determined through the use of the ti-ba-ii business analyst calculator.
\n" ); document.write( "inputs were:
\n" ); document.write( "present value = 0
\n" ); document.write( "future value = 225,073.09
\n" ); document.write( "number of years = 31
\n" ); document.write( "interest rate per year = 7%
\n" ); document.write( "payments made at the end of each year.
\n" ); document.write( "output was:
\n" ); document.write( "payment made at the end of each year = 2205.019925.
\n" ); document.write( "this was rounded to 2205.02.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "excel was used to do the year by year calculations required to demonstrate that the future value of the investment for person B was the same as the future value of the investment for person A.\r
