Raj deposits 50 into a fund at the end of each month for 5 years. The fund pays interest at an annual effective rate of i. The total amount of interest earned during the last month of year 5 is 13. Calculate the accumulated amount in Raj's account at the end of year 5
A) 3325
B) 3350
C) 3375
D) 3400
E) 3425
This can be solved by trial and error
let us construct a schedule of investment value using 5% interest rate as below :
First deposit is made at the end of 1st month, so interest is zero in 1st month
In the second month onward until 60th month,
interest = beginning value * interest rate / 12 (as the interest is calculated monthly)
ending value = beginning value + interest + deposit
With 5% interest rate, the ending value and interest paid in last month of year 5 are as below :
In the question, the interest paid in last month of year 5 is 13. So we try again with a lower interest rate of 4.5% :
Interest paid in last month of year 5 is 12.36. We try again with 4.71% interest :
With 4.71% interest rate ,we can see that the interest paid in last month of year 5 exactly equals 13.00
The ending value of this investment is 3,375.26
The answer is C
