<PRE><B>Question 1155439</B>
&lt;br&gt;
The future value A is&lt;br&gt;
{{{A = P(1+r)^n}}}&lt;br&gt;
where r is the periodic interest rate and n is the number of periods.&lt;br&gt;
The annual interest rate is 9% or .09; the periodic (monthly) interest rate is .09/12 = .0075.&lt;br&gt;
The 6 years of monthly periods means 6*12=72 periods.&lt;br&gt;
You want $500,000 at the end of 6 years:&lt;br&gt;
{{{500000 = P(1+.0075)^72}}}
{{{P = 500000/(1+.0075)^72}}}&lt;br&gt;
Use a calculator....&lt;br&gt;
