Monthly payments of $175 are paid into an annuity beginning on January 31, with a yearly interest rate of 12 %,compounded monthly. Add the future values of each payment to calculate the total value of the annuity on September 1.
On September 1, the value of the annuity will be __________
(Round to the nearest cent.)
Monthly annuity payments beginning on January 31
= $175
Interest rate = 12 % compounded monthly
Number of months for which annuity payments were made = 8
months
Calculation of total value of the annuity on September 1
Formula of Future value of Annuity
Where, FV = Future value of Annuity
A= Annuity Payment at end of period
r = Annul rate of Interest
t = Number of years
m = Number of periods on compounding frequency
(i.e..,12)
FV = $175 [(1+0.12/12)^8 -1)] / (0.12/12)
FV = $175 [(1.01)^8 -1)] / (0.01)
FV = $175 [1.0828567 -1] / 0.01
FV = $175 * 8.28567056
FV = $1449.9923 or $1449.99 approx.
Total value of the annuity on September 1 = $1449.99
