2. If you desire to have $10,000 for a down payment for a house in five years, what amount would you need to deposit today? Assume that your money will earn 5 percent. (Hint I have told you the future value therefore you are attempting to figure out the present value. Also, the question asks what are you depositing today not annually over 5 years therefore, this is 1 single deposit.)

PV = FV / (1 + r)n

= $10,000 / (1 + 0.05)5

= $10,000 / 1.2763 = $7,835.26

Amount of Deposit needed today is $7,835.26
