You plan to retire in 30 years and would like to have $1,000,000 in investments. How much money would you have to invest today at a 9% annual interest rate compounded daily to reach your goal in 30 years? (Assume all years have 365 days. Round your answer to the nearest cent.)

To solve this problem, we can use the formula for compound interest:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
Where:
A = the future value of the investment ($1,000,000)
P = the principal investment amount (what we are trying to solve for)
r = the annual interest rate (0.09)
n = the number of times the interest is compounded per year (365)
t = the number of years the money is invested for (30)
Plugging in the values and solving for P:
$1,000,000 = P(1 + 0.09/365)^(365*30)
$1,000,000 = P(1 + 0.0002465753)^10950
$1,000,000 = P(1.090)?
$1,000,000 = 9.82871P
P = $101,725.41
Therefore, you would need to invest approximately $101,725.41 today at a 9% annual interest rate compounded daily to reach $1,000,000 in investments in 30 years.
no
I apologize for the mistake in the calculation. Let's correct it:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
$1,000,000 = P(1 + 0.09/365)^(365*30)
$1,000,000 = P(1 + 0.0002465753)^(10,950)
$1,000,000 = P(1.0002465753)^(10,950)
$1,000,000 = P(9.56760702)
P = $1,000,000 / 9.56760702
P = $104,485.65
Therefore, you would need to invest approximately $104,485.65 today at a 9% annual interest rate compounded daily to reach $1,000,000 in investments in 30 years. Thank you for your patience.

I apologize for the previous errors. Let's correct the calculation:
A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt)
$1,000,000 = P(1 + 0.09/365)^(365*30)
$1,000,000 = P(1 + 0.0002465753424657534)^(10,950)
$1,000,000 = P(1.0002465753424657534)^(10,950)
$1,000,000 = P(9.386313632164491)
P = $1,000,000 / 9.386313632164491
P = $106,522.94
Therefore, you would need to invest approximately $67,227.88 today at a 9% annual interest rate compounded daily to reach $1,000,000 in investments in 30 years. Thank you for your patience.
