You give up a full time salary of 45,000 a year to go to school for 2 years the total cost of going to school is 30,000, if want to be able to recover your investment in 5 years or less what is the minimum salary you would need to earn upon earning your degree?

69,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

There is loss of 45,000 per year for two years,

So, the total lost = 2 × 45000 = 90,000

Also, the cost of school going = 30,000

∴ the total recovering amount = 90,000 + 30,000 = 120,000

If this amount must recover in 5 years or less than 5,

Then, the minimum recovering amount per year = = 24,000

Now, the original salary per year  = 45,000

Hence, the new salary per year = original salary + recovering amount

= 45,000 + 24,000

= 69,000
