Question

Six equal annual contributions are made to a fund, with the first deposit on December 31, 2019. Required: Using the future value tables, determine the equal contributions that, if invested at 10% compounded annually, will accumulate to a fund of $30,000 on December 31, 2024.

Answer 1

The answer is $3,888.22

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an annuity due because the cash flow is being done on the first day of each period.

Annuity is a fixed sum of money paid to or receceived from someone or business every year.

Future Value(FV) = $30,000

Interest rate(i or I/Y) = 10%

Number of years(N)= 6 years

Annuity (PMT) = ?

Using a Financial calculator to solve it (Texa BA II Plus )

Annuity (equal contributions) will be $3,888.22
