Answer:

Explanation:

This is an Ordinary Annuity question. You can solve this using a financial calculator. I'm using (TI BA II Plus)

N; duration = 20

I/Y ; interest rate per year = 8.5%

PMT ; recurring annual payment = 70,000

FV; Future value = 0 (In solving annuities, use 0 if not given)

then CPT PV = ?

PV = 662,433.563

Therefore, your friend needs to have $662,433.56
