Quarterly deposits are made into a fund at the beginning of each quarter starting today for 5 years. The first 8 deposits are $1000 each and deposits increase by 1% per quarter thereafter. If the fund earns 8% effective annually, find the accumulated value at the end of 5 years.
Please explain which equations you used and do not use excel.
Quartertly deposits for 2 years = $1,000
Growth rate of Quarterly deposits after 2 years = 1%
Effective Interest rate = 8%
where r is the nominal quarterly rate
m is the number of compounding periods
i is the effective interest rate
r = 0.07771/4 = 0.01943 or 1.943%
The equation to find out future value of deposits is given below
Where F is the future value
P is the deposit
r is the quarterly interest rate
m is the total number of compounding periods (Quarters)
Number of quarters in first two years = 2*4 = 8
Value of deposits for the first two years =
Value of deposits for the first two years = $8565.70
The equation for the future value of a growing annuity is given below
where g is the growth rate
Number of quarters after two years = 3*4 = 12
growth rate = 1% = 0.01
Future Value after two years is equal to:
Future Value after two years = $14,097.37
Total Value after 5 years = $8,565.70 + $14,097.37 = $22,663.07
