If you deposit $15,000 per year for 9 years (each deposit is made at the end of each year) in an account that pays an annual interest rate of 9%, what will your account be worth at the end of 9 years?
Please show details and related formulas, I will give thumbs up ASAP once I check the answer.
Here deposits is every year made at end of each year. so, we use future value of ordinary annuity concept.
Future value of ordinary annuity formula = P * [( 1 + i)n - 1 ] / i
Here p = periodic deposit = $15,000
i = interest rate per period = 9%
n = number of periods or years = 9 years
Future value of ordinary annuity formula = $15,000 * [ (1+ 0.09)9 - 1 ] / 0.09
= 15,000 * 1.171893279442309389 / 0.09
Account balance worth at the end of 9 years = $ 195,315.5465737182315
