Question16 (7 marks)
The spreadsheet below was used to model the balance of an annuity used to help pay the university fees of a
student. $19 000 was deposited in a fixed-interest savings account at the start ofthe year 2011. One year
later interest was added and then the student withdrew $4 480. This process was repeated until the balance
of the annuity reached zero at the start of the year 2016.
