<PRE><B>Question 709524</B>
how much money must be deposited now in an account paying 8% annual interest, compounded quarterly, to have a balance of $1000 after 10 years
-----------------
8% annual = 2% per quarter
10 yrs = 40 1/4&#39;s
--------------
FV = PV*1.02^n
1000 = PV*1.02^40
PV = 1000/(1.02^40)
PV =~ $452.89
