Chapter 4, Problem 34P

You want to accumulate $1 million by your retirement date, which is 25 years from now. You will make 25 deposits in your bank, with the first occurring today. The bank pays 8% interest, compounded annually. You expect to receive annual raises of 3%, which will offset inflation, and you will let the amount you deposit each year also grow by 3% (i.e., your second deposit will be 3% greater than your first, the third will be 3% greater than the second, etc.). How much must your first deposit be if you are to meet your goal?

At the end of year 5, you will receive $10,000 and deposit it in the bank in an effort to reach your goal of $78,000 at the end of year 12. In addition to the lump-sum deposit, how much must you invest in 12 equal annual deposits to reach your goal? (Again, assume you can earn 9% on this deposit)
Your first deposit of $5,000 will be made today. You also plan to make four additional deposits at the beginning of each of the next four years. Your plan is to increase your deposits by 10% a year. (That is, you plan to deposit $5,500 at t = 1, and $6,050 at t = 2, etc.) Your deposits earn a 14% return. What is the present value today of all the deposits you have made?
