- QUESTION 5 You are currently thinking about setting up a retirement fund. You want to deposit $4000 every year for 35 years with an annual increase of $750. At the end of the 35 years, how much will you have accumulated for your retirement? Consider an interest rate of 6%.

Her tuition and books at college cost $6,000 and her living expenses are $15,000 per year. Savings are deposited at the end of the year they are earned and receive (compound) interest at the end of each subsequent year. Similarly, the loans are taken out at the end of the year in which they are needed, and interest does not accrue until the end of the subsequent year. Now that the interest rate has risen, should Joanne go to college or go to work?arrow_forward5. Suppose after you graduate from Algoma University, you find a job that pays you $75,000 a year. Further suppose that you take out a home equity loan of $360,000 for 30 years at an annual interest rate of 3.5 percent, with payments to be made monthly. What will your monthly payments be? If the interest rate increases from 3.5 percent to 5.0 percent, how much will your monthly payments increase? Instead of 30 years, you decide to pay your loan in 25 years, what will your monthly payments be if the interest rate remains at 3.5 percent or increases to 5.0 percent.
