Po(1+r)^n = 100,000.
r = 0.08/12 = 0.00666667 = monthly % rate.
n = 1comp./mo * 120mo, = 120 compounding periods.
Po(1.00666667)^120 = 100,000.
Po = $45,052.33 = initial dep.
Po(1+r)^10 = 100,000.
Po(1.08)^10 = 100,000.
Po = $46,319.35.
46,319.35 - 45,052.33 = $1267.02. Less.
You wish to deposit an amount now that will accumulate to $100,000 in 10 years. How much less would you have to deposit if the rate of interest was 8% compounded monthly versus annually?
