n = 44.74 months

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Invest = $20,000

i = 0.5 a month

FV = $30,000

I can save an additional $100 per month.

How long will it take me to accumulate the $30,000

First, we are going to explain it on a financial calculator.

We have to use the function CMPD

There we have the following information required:

Set: End

n=?

I% = 0.50

PV (present value) = $20000

PMT (monthly cuota) = $100

FV (final value) = - 300000 (it has to be in negative)

Now we pulse "solve" in "n" and the number of months required will we resolved.

n = 44.74 months
