Troy Obrien · Answer 1

The initial deposit should be $ 25.46

Explanation:

The Annuity formula is

P=R [1 - (1+i) ^-n/i]⋅ (1+i)

Where

P = Initial deposit

R=Regular Withdraw amount

i=Interest rate

n=Number of years/periods

After entering corresponding values in the formula we get $25.46

so P (which is our initial deposit) = 25.46
