He can deposit money in an account that gives 5% interest per year (compounded quarterly). He wants to make equal annual payments on each birthday into the account, first payment on 51st birtdhay and last on 65th birthday. In addition, the investor´s employer will contribute $100 to the account at the end of every month (total of 180 contributions). what amount must investor deposit personally each year on his birthday to make the desired withdrawals at retirement? Could someone please tell me how to work this? The answer given is $7,305, but I don´t get that. Tks |

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
