sarah wiggum would like to make a single investment and have $2 million at the time of her retirement in 35 years. She has found a mutual fund that will earn 4 percent annually, how much will Sarah have to invest today?

Answer provided by our tutors

A = $2,000,000.00 the future value

t = 35 years

r = 0.04 or 4% the annual rate

P = the principal


A = P(1 + r)^t


P = A/((1 + r)^t)


P = 2,000,000/((1 + 0.04)^35)


P = $506,830.942
