Meanwhile, you will be busy repaying federally guaranteed loans for the first 10 years after graduation. But you realize that you won’t be able to repay the lump sum without saving up.

How high an annual nominal interest rate on savings do you need to accumulate the $20,000 in 60 months, if interest is compounded monthly? Enter into a spreadsheet the values d 5 275, r 5 0.05 (annual rate), and n 5 60, and the savings formula with r replaced by r/12 (the…
