    Hello,

    Paulo plans to buy a holiday villa in five years’ time for cash. He estimates the cost will be $1.5m. He plans
    to set aside the same amount of funds each year for five years, starting immediately and earning a rate of
    10% interest per annum compound.
    To the nearest $100, how much does he need to set aside each year?
    A $223,400
    B $245,600
    C $359,800
    D $395,600

    1. The answer is A.
    2. Could you please explain what the question is actually asking to do?
    -I am trying to figure this out in the answer but unable to do so.

    Thanks

    The answer is indeed A.

    To end up with the $1.5M needed, then the PV of the equal annual amount saved must be equal to the PV of the $1.5M needed in 5 years time.
