Your grandfather put some money in an account for you on the day you were born. You are now years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has in it and pays an interest rate. Required:
a. How much money would be in the account if you left the money there until your twenty-fifth birthday?
b. What if you left the money until your sixty-fifth birthday?
c. How much money did your grandfather originally put in the account?

Missing word "You are now 18 years old and are allowed to withdraw the money for the first time. The account currently has $3996 in it and pays an 8% interest rate."

a.  At 18 years, future value of current amount (compounded for another 7 years at 8%)

= $3,996 * (1.08)^7

= $3,996 * 1.7138

= $6,848.34

b. At age 65, future value of this amount (compounded for another 40 years at 8%)

= $6,848.44 * (1.08)^40

= $6,848.44 * 21.7245

= $148,779.93

c. Future Value = Present Value * (1 + Interest Rate)^n

So, let initial the money deposited be represented by Y

=> $3,996 = Y * (1.08)^18

=> $3,996 = Y * 3.996

Y = $3,996 / 3.996

Y = $1,000

two years ago, when picking flowers in the mountains back of yosemite valley, i found a book. it was blotted and storm-beaten; all of its outer pages were mealy and crumbly. the paper seemed to dissolve like the snow beneath which it had been buried, however; many of the inner pages were well preserved. and although all were more or less stained and torn, whole chapters were easily readable. this is the condition of the great open book of yosemite glaciers today; its granite pages have been torn and blurred by the same storms that wasted the castaway book.
