Future value of an investment at 4.75% compounded weekly is $25,000

The present value of the investment, to the nearest dollar

The multiplier is (1 + .0475/52)^(52·5) ≈ 1.2679375, so the amount required is found from

... 1.2679375×present value = 25,000

... present value = 25,000/1.2679375 ≈ 19,717

$19,717 needs to be placed in the account now.

When an annual interest rate r is compounded n times per year, the annual multiplier is (1 +r/n)^n. Here, we have n=52 (weeks per year). The multiplier is applied 5 times (raised to the 5th power) to obtain the result of a 5-year investment.
