问题如下:
John receive a gift from his grandpa about $1.2 million. He plans to buy a house in five years later, which price is expected to be $250,000 at that time. How much should John deposit now if the stated annual rate is 3% and compounded monthly?
选项:
A.$215,652
B.$215,217
C.$242,620
解释:
B is correct. Present value * (1+3%/12)12*5=$250,000, therefore, John should deposit $215,217 currently.
我的EAR= (1+0.03/12)^12 - 1 = 0.030416,所以I/Y=3.0416,N=5,PMT=0, FV=250,000, 算出PV也是等于-215,217
