Problem. An enterprising student is planning to have personal savings totaling $1,000,000 when she
retires at age 65. She is now 20 years old. If the annual interest rate will average 7% over the next
45
years on her savings account, what equal end-of-year amount must she save to accomplish her
goal.
A = $1,000,000 (A/F, 7%, 45)
= $1,000,000 (0.0035) = $3,500
Finding A When Given P
i (1 + i)
N
A = P
(1 + i)
N
- 1
The quantity
in bracket is called the capital recovery factor and the
functional symbol for
this factor is (A/P, i%, N). Therefore,
A = P (A/P, i%, N)
Problem. Example: You want to buy an apartment at the price of 4 million Hong Kong dollars. You
will do this with a mortgage from a bank at the annual interest rate 8% for 30 years. What is your
annual payment?
A = 4,000,000 (A/P, 8%, 30) = $355,200
($29,600 per month).
What if the interest rate is 6%?
What if the mortgage is for 20 years? 10 years?
