You are graduating in two years and are thinking about your future. You know that you will want to buy a house five years after you graduate and that you will want to put down $50,000.

You are also fairly certain that once you graduate, you can go work in the family business and earn $32,000 a year, with a 5 percent raise every year.

Thus, you will only be able to save 13 percent of your annual salary. Assume that you will be able to invest savings from your salary at 7.2 percent. At what interest rate you need to invest the current savings account balance at in order to achieve your goal? (If…
