Questions: Here are two ways of investing 20,000 for 20 years.
Lump-Sum Deposit Rate Time
20,000 5% compounded annually 20 years
Periodic Deposit Rate Time
1000 at the end of each year 5% compounded annually 20 years
Use this information and the formulas A=P(1+r)^t and A=P[(1+r)^t-1]/r to complete parts a. and b. below.
a. After 20 years, how much more will you have from the lump-sum investment than from the annuity?
You will have approximately more from the lump-sum investment than from the annuity. (Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
b. After 20 years, how much more interest will be earned from the lump-sum investment than from the annuity?
The interest earned on the lump-sum investment will be approximately more than the interest earned from the annuity.

Use this information and the formulas $A=P(1+r)^{t}$ and $A=\frac{P\left[(1+r)^{t}-1\right]}{r}$ to complete parts a. and b. below.
a. After 20 years, how much more will you have from the lump-sum investment than from the annuity?
You will have approximately $\$$ $\square$ more from the lump-sum investment than from the annuity.
(Round to the nearest dollar as needed.)
b. After 20 years, how much more interest will be earned from the lump-sum investment than from the annuity?
The interest earned on the lump-sum investment will be approximately $\$$ $\square$ more than the interest earned from the annuity.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the Future Value of the Lump-Sum Investment
Using the formula $A_1 = P1(1 + r)^t$, where $P1 = 20000$, $r = 0.05$, and $t = 20$,
the future value of the lump-sum investment is $A_1 = 20000(1 + 0.05)^20 = 53066$.
Step 2: Calculate the Future Value of the Annuity
Using the formula $A_2 = \frac{P2[(1 + r)^t - 1]}{r}$, where $P2 = 1000$, $r = 0.05$, and $t = 20$,
the future value of the annuity is $A_2 = \frac{1000[(1 + 0.05)^20 - 1]}{0.05} = 33066$.
Step 3: Calculate the Difference in Future Values
The difference in future values between the lump-sum investment and the annuity is $20000$.
Step 4: Calculate the Difference in Interest Earned
The total interest earned from the lump-sum investment is $33066$,
and from the annuity is $13066$.
Therefore, the difference in interest earned is $20000$.
Final Answer:
The lump-sum investment yields $20000$ more than the annuity in terms of future value,
and earns $20000$ more in interest over a period of 20 years.
