Candice Willis will invest $30,000 today. She needs $150,000 in 21 years.

What annual interest rate must


she earn?

Ans.

Present Value (PV) = $ 30,000

Future Value (FV)= $150,000

Time = 21 years

r=?

FV = PVx(1+r)^n

150000=30000 x (1+r)^21

r = (150000/30000)^(1/21) -1

r = 0.07965 or 7.965%
