Answer #1

$8200 is the future value of money that is needed after 3 years. We have to calculate PMT, which can be done using the excel function PMT,

=pmt(rate,nper,pv,fv)

where,

rate is 6%,

nper is 3 years,

pv is 0,

fv is $8200

=PMT(6%,3,0,8200)

=2575.70

Jason white needs to invest $2575.70 each year for 3 years.
