Question

Suppose that a person deposits $500 in a savings account at the end of each year, starting now, for the next 12 years. If the bank pays 8% per year,
compounded annually, how much money will accumulate by the end of the 12-year period?

Repeat Problem for an interest rate of 6.25% per year, compounded annually?

Step 1

We need to calculate future value present cash flows

FV = PV * (1 + r)n
Where,

FV = Future Value

PV = Present Value = $500

r = rate of interest = 8% or 0.08

n = number of years = 12 years

FV = 500 * (1 + 0.08)12
FV = 500 * (1.08)12
FV = 500 x 2.5182
FV = $1259.1

Step 2

If interest rate of 6.25% per year, compounded annually, the future value will be

PV = $500

r = 6.25% or 0.0625

n = 12 years

FV = 500 * (1 + 0.0625)12
FV = 500 * (1.0625)12
FV = 500 x 2.0699
FV = 1034.95
