You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You will pull out of the account $35,000*15=$525,000
-
PV=35000(1-(1.06)^(-15))/0.06, round at end=$339,928.71
It is what you want*(1-(1+(r/n)^nt/(r/n). Here, r=0.06 and n=1
-
the amount that is interest is the amount you pull out minus what you had at the beginning.
That is $185,071.29.
