You set up a college fund in which you pay $2500 each year at the end of the year. How much money will you have accumulated in the fund after 10 years, if your fund earns 8% compounded annually?
Future Value of Annuity :
Annuity is series of cash flows that are deposited at regular
intervals for specific period of time.
FV of Annuity = CF [ (1+r)^n - 1 ] / r
r - Int rate per period
n - No. of periods
Particulars | Amount |
Cash Flow | $ 2,500.00 |
Int Rate | 8.000% |
Periods | 10 years |
FV of Annuity = Cash Flow * [ [ ( 1 + r ) ^ n ] - 1 ] /r
= $ 2500 * [ [ ( 1 + 0.08 ) ^ 10 ] - 1 ] / 0.08
= $ 2500 * [ [ ( 1.08 ) ^ 10 ] - 1 ] / 0.08
= $ 2500 * [ [2.1589] - 1 ] / 0.08
= $ 2500 * [1.1589] /0.08
= $ 36216.41
if we deposit $ 2500 each year at 8 %, it will be accumulated to $ 36216.41
