Benjamin had more by 1,750,655
b) How much money did Benjamin invest and how much money did you invest?
Benjamin invested 80,000 and I invested
360,000
c) Evaluate the data above.
What conclusions do you draw from your data
analysis?
Recommend the strategies you would provide to future
investors. Justify your answer in 3-4 sentences.
The Conclusions I came up with is to start investing when Benjamin
started at the age of 22 because you will invest way less and come out with
way more money then when I started at the age of 30. Be smart like
Benjamin and start investing at early age.

Assume that you have just turned 21, are graduating from college, and are planning for your
retirement; at age 55. You currently have no money saved, but plan to make significant
investments into a retirement account now that you have gotten a high-paying job. Because
of moving and additional expenses associated with the start of your new job, you believe that
you will only be able to invest $2,000 on your 22nd and 23rd birthdays (2 payments). You then
expect to invest $10,000 each year on your 24th through your 30th birthdays (7 payments),
$20,000 each year on your 31st through 40th birthdays (10 payments), and $30,000 each year
on your 41st through 55th birthdays (15 payments). During this 34-year period you are willing
to take some investment risks and you believe that your investment account can earn a
nominal annual rate of return of 9 percent, compounded monthly. At age 55 you plan to
retire and will use the money in your investment account to buy a 40-year, guaranteed

You have just graduated, are dead broke, but would still like to buy a new car so that you can show it off on Instagram. Your rich Aunt Amy, who is a retired investment banker at the age of 35 because she knew better, is willing to lend you the money to buy the car, as long as you promise to pay her back in four years.

Based on your projected income and living expenses, you anticipate that you will be able to pay her $30,000, $40,000, $45,000, and $50,000 at the end of each of the next four years, respectively.

In a few short years, you will graduate and enter the workforce. Let us suppose that you
and a friend both start working at the age of 23 and decide on very different ways to fund
your eventual retirement. In this exercise, we explore these decisions.
Neither of you have any savings (P = 0), plan to retire at age 66, and expect to earn
8.4% annual interest, compounded monthly, on all your investments.
a) Having taken this class, you decide to start immediately, investing $120 per month.
How much money will be in your account in 20 years?
b) At this point (you are now 43 years old), you will stop making monthly deposits into your
account. Now, the amount you calculated in part (a) will accumulate interest for 23 years
(until you are 66 years old). How much is in your account now?
