    Answer:A and C

    Explanation:

    Interest is compounded in savings accounts and me to reduce the amount that I must deposit today and still have my desired $1 million on the day I retire then I should either, invest in a different account paying a higher rate of interest meaning the invested amount will be compounded at a higher rate thus my initial investment amount requirement reduced. Or, since compounded interest is a function of time, if I retire later, that would mean a longer time for my initial investment to compound to $1 million, thus reducing my initial investment amount requirement.
