1)
Present value = Future value / (1 + r)n
Present value = 20,000 / (1 + 0.06)5
Present value = 20,000 / 1.338226
Present value = $14,945.16
You need to deposit $14,945.16
2)
Present value = Annuity * [1 - 1 / (1 + r)n]/ r
20,000 = Annuity * [1 - 1 / (1 + 0.06)5]/ 0.06
20,000 = Annuity * [1 - 0.747258] / 0.06
20,000 = Annuity * 4.212364
Annuity = $4,747.93
Each year should save $4,747.93
