Tom was trying to determine the best way to save for his retirement. He was selecting between two plans and reasoned that they would provide him the same yield at the end of the terms. Plan A: Deposit $250 per month at 8% annual interest, compounded monthly, for 20 years. Plan B: Deposit $500 per month at 8% annual interest, compounded monthly, for 10 years. Is Tom correct? If not, which plan would provide him the larger annuity? Select the correct answer below: Yes, Tom is correct. Since he is doubling his monthly payment, he can cut the investment time by half. The same amount is deposited either way. No. Plan A will provide a larger savings since there is more time for compound interest to take effect. No. Plan B will provide a larger savings since he is depositing more each month, there is a larger principal for interest to be compounded upon. There is not enough information to determine the answer.
