Nick wants to maintain the purchasing power of $75,000 (in today's dollars) in retirement. If
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
inflation continues to average 3.5%, approximately what amount will Nick need in 20 years
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
to equal the purchasing power of $75,000 today? (Round your answer.) - If you know the
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
Rule of 72, and you divide 3.5 into 72, you arrive at the number 20, which is the number of
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
years it will take for a sum to double. With a calculator, you can solve for the future value of
ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii ii
$75,000 over 20 years at 3.5%.
