(Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answer :

The amount I should invest today if I earn an annual return of 11.4% is  $7,765.45.

The amount I should invest today if I earn an annual return of 5.7% is  $82,532.61.

What is the amount I should invest today?

The formula that can be used to determine the amount I should invest today is:

PV = FV / (1 +r)^t

Where:

  • PV = present value
  • FV = future value = $1,000,000
  • t = 45 years
  • r = interest rate = 11.4%, 5.7%

$1,000,000 / (1.114)^45 = $7,765.45

$1,000,000 / (1.057)^45 = $82,532.61
