Question 1077417: Jill and Bill are the same age. Jill inherits $20,000 when she is 25, and invests it in an account earning 5% annual interest rate, compounded annually. Bill receives a $20,000 bonus at age 35, and then invests it in an account which also earns a 5% annual interest rate, compounded annually. How much more money does Jill have than Bill at age 50? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The formula for annual compound interest, including principal sum, is:
A = P (1 + r/n) (nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment/loan, including interest
P = the principal investment amount (the initial deposit or loan amount)
r = the annual interest rate (decimal)
n = the number of times that interest is compounded per year
t = the number of years the money is invested or borrowed for
--------------------------------------------------------------------
From age 25 to age 50, Jill's futute value is:
From age 35 to age 50, Bill's future value is:
------------------------------------------
Jill has $26,148.54 more than Bill at age 50
