You can put this solution on YOUR website! John decides to start saving money for a new car. He knows he can invest money into an account which will earn 6.5% APR, compounded weekly, and would like to have saved $10,000 after 5 years.
How much money will he need to invest into the account now so that he has $10,000 after 5 years?
--------
A(t) = P(1+(r/n))^(nt)
----
10,000 = P(1+(0.065/52))^(52*5)
----
10,000 = P(1.00125)^260
---
10,000 = P*1.38375
----
P = $7226.74 (amt he must invest)
