Given:

Each yearly payment = P = $680

The rate of the interest = r = 5.6% = 0.056

Compunded annually, n = 1

Time = t = 17 years

We will find the value at the end of the time using the following formula:


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

substitute with the given values:


\begin{gathered} A=680*(((1+0.056)^(17)-1))/(0.056) \\ \\ A\approx18,519.63819 \end{gathered}

Rounding to the nearest cent

So, the answer will be:

A = 18519.64
