Question

Your grandparents put $10,200 into an account so that you would have spending money in college. You put the money into an account that will earn an APR of 4.19 percent compounded monthly. If you expect that you will be in college for 4 years, how much can you withdraw each month?

Answer 1

Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Deposit amount in the bank = $10200

Interest rate earned by the deposit = 4.19%

Monthly interest rate = 4.19% / 12 = 0.34917%

Number of periods = 4 years x 12 = 48

Amount in the account = Monthly withdrawal x (P/A, 0.34917%, 48)

10200 = Monthly withdrawal x 44.12246

Monthly withdrawal = 10200/44.12246

Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month
