Al Darby wants to withdraw $20100 (including principal) from an investment fund at the end of each year for five years. How should he compute his required initial investment at the beginning of the first year if the fund earns 8% compounded annually?

The value of the initial investment was $15749

Explanation:

$20100 times the present value of a 5-year, 8% ordinary annuity of 1.

The present value at the year zero can be found using the discounting formula which is as under:

Present value = Future Value / (1+r)^n

Here n is 5 years, r is 5% and the future value is $20100.

By putting the values in the formula:

Present Value = $20100 / (1+5%)^5 years = $15749

can your question and add a list so i can you out?

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
