Interest rate = 8%
1) Quarterly interest rate = 8 / 4 = 2%
With annual interest rate of 8% annually, $100 invested today would become $108 after one year.
With interest rate of 2% quarterly, $100 invested today would become $108.24 after one year.
2) First payment made of $X will be invested for 7 quarters, then $X after 7 quarters = X (1 + 0.02) ^ 7
Second payment made of $X will be invested for 6 quarters, then $X after 6 quarters = X (1 + 0.02) ^ 6
Third payment made of $X will be invested for 5 quarters, then $X after 5 quarters = X (1 + 0.02) ^ 5
Forth payment made of $X will be invested for 4 quarters, then $X after 4 quarters = X (1 + 0.02) ^ 4
Fifth payment made of $X will be invested for 3 quarters, then $X after 3 quarters = X (1 + 0.02) ^ 3
Sixth payment made of $X will be invested for 2 quarters, then $X after 2 quarters = X (1 + 0.02) ^ 2
Seventh payment made of $X will be invested for 1 quarter, then $X after 1 quarter = X (1 + 0.02) ^ 1
Eighth payment made of $X will be invested for 0 quarters, then $X after 0 quarter = X (1 + 0.02) ^ 0 = X
Thus sum of all payment become $500,000.
X (1.02) ^ 7 + X (1.02) ^ 6 + X (1.02) ^ 5 + X (1.02) ^ 4 + X (1.02) ^ 3 + X (1.02) ^ 2 + X (1.02) ^ 1 + X = 500,000
X = 58411.21 (approx.)
