ASSUME that in 25 years you will need $500,000 for your retirement (i.e. retirement is actually 25 years away, and you want to have saved $500,000). How much money would you have to put into a bank today to accumulate this if your money will earn 8% per year (assume annual compounding)?
Computation of the present value:-
Future value = Present value * (1 + rate)^n
$500,000 = Present value * (1+8%)^25
Present value = $500,000 / 6.84848
= $73,008.95
