  1. Given : Larry wants to start an IRA that will have $730,000 in it when he retires in 30 years. How much should he invest semiannually in his IRA to do this if the interest is 9% compounded semi annually ?

    Answer :

    we know that, when rate is compounded semi annually,

    • Time = Double .
    • Rate = Half .

    so,

    • FV = $730,000 .
    • Rate = 9/2 = 4.5% annually = 4.5/100 = 0.045 = i
    • Time = 30 * 2 = 60 years .
    • PMT = ?

    we know that,

    • FV = PMT[{(1 + i)^n – 1}/ i]

    putting all values we get,

    → 730000 = PMT[{(1 + 0.045)⁶⁰ – 1}/0.045]

    → 730000 = PMT[{(1.045)⁶⁰ – 1}/0.045]

    → 730000 = PMT[(14.03 – 1)/0.045]

    → 730000 = PMT(13.03/0.045)

    → PMT = (730000 * 0.045)/13.03

    → PMT ≈ $2521.61 (Ans.)
