Wow, 17% interest from a savings account ?
anyway ....
P( 1 - 1.17^-20)/.17 = 250000
..
P = $57, 309.99
this might seem unreasonably high, but remember the interest rate is unreasonable,
As a matter of fact his fund will earn .17(250,000)
or $42,500 in interest the first year, so the fund will only decrease by 57310 - 42500 or $ 14,810
