How much money would need to be deposited into an account earning 5.75% interest compounded annually in order for the accumulated value at the end of 25 years to be $85,000?

Answer 1

I will assume you are using compound interest.

let the amount invested be x

x(1.0575)^25 = 85000
x = 85000/1.0575^25 = $21,009.20
