Question

Find the value of annuity if the periodic deposit is $400 at 4% compounded monthly for 18 years

Answer 1

~820.8$

Explanation:

The total money (M) after 18 years could be calculated by:

M = principal x (1 + rate)^time

with

principal = 400$

rate = 4% compounded monthly = 0.04/12

time = 18 years = 18 x 12 = 216 months (because of compounded monthly rate)

=> M = 400 x (1 + 0.04/12)^216 = ~820.8$
