Determine the accumulated value of an annuity of $50 a month for 25 years if interest is a) 8% compounded monthly, b) j12 = 3%.
$50 a month for 25 years
a) r = 8%/12 = 0.006666666667 per month
PMT = 50
n = 25 * 12 = 300 monthly payments
Accumulated value, FV
The accumulated value at the end of 25 years is $47,551.31973375
b) j12 = 3%
r = 3%/12 = 0.0025
n = 300
PMT = 50
The accumulated value is $22,300.391154
