Extremely trick problem ( at least for me) about interest gained?

Published under Quick Money On Interest by admin.



A financial analyst invest $2000 dollars per month into a high-risk mutual fund account which earns an average of 13.5%(apy) interest per year, A) after 10.5 years how much money does he have in his account? B) How many years will it take him to earn over 1.5 million?

- I don’t know how to solve this because if you think about it the money he invest in January (month 1) is going to gain the 13.5% interest quicker than the money he invest in December (month 12), so i don’t think i can just add up the total invested in a year ($24,000) and then multiply that by 13.5 . Moreover, the money invested in Year 1 is going to be tremendously greater than the money invested in year 10, any help???

Answers and explanations are GREATLY appreciated!

how often is the interest compounded?

if it is compounded monthly, then its as complicated as you made it… if it is compounded yearly, it is fairly simple.

let r = (1.135)^(1/12) … this is the interest earned after one month. We will now be computing the results monthly based on r.

A. 10.5 years is also 126 months.
Amount: 2000 [ r + r^2 + r^3 + ... + r^126]
= 2000 r*{r^126 -1} / {r - 1} = $529,604.77
this last formula is from the geometric sequence.

B. 2000 [1+r+...rª] = 1500000 … we need ‘a’ (in months yet)
(r^(a+1)-1)/(r-1) = 750
r^(a+1) = 750 *(r-1)
(a+1) lnr = ln(750*(r-1)) … take the natural logarithm of both sides
a+1 = 196.5
a = 195.5 months = 16.29 years
Answer: After 17 years.

Comment: 2000r^126 will be the amount earned by the first payment in the annuity (that is January year 0)

to keep this sane, we cacluclate the monthly interest i compounded to produce 13.5% per year, so
1.135 = (1+i)^12. Some log work gives i = .010553 (rounded).

A) Now 2000 * [(1+i)^126 - 1]/i = 2000 * 260.92 = $521,846.96

B) 1500000 = 2000 * [(1+i)^n - 1]/i, or
1+750i = (1+i)^n;
7.9145 = (1.010553)^n, and after log work,
n = 197 months = 16.4 years to accumulate $1.5 million.
