Bank A quoted 6% interest compounded annually. Bank B quoted 7% compounded annually. How much would you have to deposit in Bank A each year to pay for the public university? ## Annuity: An annuity is a common fixed-income security that investors should include in the portfolio investment if they are seeking a low-risk portfolio. Due to the stable stream of cash inflows, an annuity will promise a lower return compared to other securities such as stocks. ## Answer and Explanation: 1 Given information: • N = 11 • I = 7% • FV =$80,000
• Assume that all deposits will be made at the end of each year.
• After 11 years, the value of all deposits should be $80,000. Determine the annual deposit in Bank A to fund for the study at a public university: {eq}FV = \displaystyle Annual\:deposit \times \frac{(1 + I)^N - 1}{I} {/eq} {eq}$80,000 = \displaystyle Annual\:deposit \times \frac{(1 + 7\%)^{11} - 1}{7\%} {/eq}

{eq}Annual\:deposit = \$5,068.55 {/eq}
