Answer:

x = $240759.82559797761 rounded off to $240.759.83

Explanation:

To calculate the additional amount that is required to be invested today, we will use the formula for Future value of a cash flow.

FV = PV * (1+r)^t

Where,

  • FV and PV are future value and present value respectively
  • r is the interest rate or rate of return
  • t is the time period

We know the Future value that is the sum required and we know the r which is 8% and t which is 8 years. We know the partial PV which is 301400 and we need to calculate the other part of PV. Thus we can say that PV = 301400 + x

Solving the equation for x where x is the additional money that should be deposited today.

1003500 = (301400 + x)  *  (1+0.08)^8

1003500 / (1+0.08)^8  = (301400 + x)

542159.8255977329 = 301400 + x

542159.8255977329  -  301400  =  x  

x = $240759.82559797761 rounded off to $240.759.83
