Answer:
In the case of age 30, there will be more money at the age of 60
Explanation:
When person start investing at the age of 20 then total year till 60 years age is = 40 years.
Interest rate (r ) = 7 percent or 0.07.
Investment amount (Present value) = $1000
Now the total amount at the age of 60 years is calculated below.
[tex]Total \ amount = Present \ value (1 + r)^{n} \\= 1000 ( 1 + 0.07 ) ^{40}\\= 14974.4578 \ dollars[/tex]
Now calculate the total amount at the age of 60 years when he invest at the age of 30 and earns interest rate 10 percent. Now the number of years is 30.
[tex]Total \ amount = Present \ value (1 + r)^{n} \\= 1000 ( 1 + 0.1 ) ^{30}\\= 17449.4023 \ dollars[/tex]
