An account earns interest at a stated annual rate of 7.4%, with monthly compounding. Amy wants $15,000 in that account after 5 years from now. How much does she have to deposit to attain that goal
----------------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
15000 = P(1+(0.074/12))^(12*5)
------
15000 = P(1.4461
---
p = $10372.79
