Final answer:

To calculate the future value of an annuity with yearly deposits of $520 at 6% interest for 20 years, you would use the annuity future value formula. After 20 years, you would have $19,127.32.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the future value of an annuity where you deposit $520 at the end of each year with an interest rate of 6% compounded annually for 20 years, we will use the future value of an annuity formula:

FV = P * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r

where:

  • FV is the future value of the annuity,
  • P is the payment amount per period ($520),
  • r is the annual interest rate (6% or 0.06),
  • n is the number of periods (20 years).

Plugging in the values, we get:

FV = $520 * ((1 + 0.06)^20 - 1) / 0.06

This simplifies to:

FV = $520 * ((1.06)^20 - 1) / 0.06

FV = $520 * (3.207 - 1) / 0.06

FV = $520 * 2.207 / 0.06

FV = $520 * 36.7833

FV = $19,127.32

After 20 years, you would have $19,127.32.
