Bot GPT 4-o mini To determine how much money you will have in the IRA at retirement, we can use the future value of an ordinary annuity formula:
\[ FV = P \times \frac{(1 + r)^n - 1}{r} \]
Where:
- \(FV\) is the future value of the annuity
- \(P\) is the payment amount per period
- \(r\) is the interest rate per period
- \(n\) is the total number of payments
In this case:
- You will deposit \(P = 60\) dollars each month.
- The annual interest rate is \(6%\), so the monthly interest rate \(r\) is:
\[ r = \frac{6%}{12} = \frac{0.06}{12} = 0.005 \]
- You will make deposits from age 24 to age 65, which is \(65 - 24 = 41\) years. Thus, the total number of monthly payments \(n\) is:
\[ n = 41 \times 12 = 492 \]
Now, substituting these values into the future value formula:
\[ FV = 60 \times \frac{(1 + 0.005)^{492} - 1}{0.005} \]
Calculating \( (1 + 0.005)^{492} \):
\[ (1 + 0.005)^{492} \approx (1.005)^{492} \approx 7.577 \]
Now, substituting back into the formula:
\[ FV = 60 \times \frac{7.577 - 1}{0.005} \] \[ FV = 60 \times \frac{6.577}{0.005} \] \[ FV = 60 \times 1315.4 \approx 78924 \]
Calculating that gives:
\[ FV \approx 78924 \]
Upon review, let's check the direct calculation:
\[ FV = 60 \times 1315.4 = 78924 \]
Now, this result seems too low to match the options provided. Let’s double-check the computation.
Calculating \( (1 + 0.005)^{492} \):
\[ (1.005)^{492} \approx 7.806 (not 7.577, as we previously considered) \]
Now, plugging in this updated value:
\[ FV = 60 \times \frac{7.806 - 1}{0.005} = 60 \times \frac{6.806}{0.005} \] \[ FV = 60 \times 1361.2 \approx 81672 \]
Again let’s recount just to clear it up, clarify if another calculation provides:
The correct future value based on updated calculations.
