What is the future value of a $600 annuity payment over five years if interest rates are 6 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
Compute the present value annuity factor (PVIFA), using the equation as shown below:
PVIFA = {1 – (1 + Rate)-Number of periods}/ Rate
= {1 – (1 + 0.06)-5}/ 6%
= 4.21236378546
Hence, the present value annuity factor is 4.21236378546.
Compute the future value of the annuity, using the equation as shown below:
Future value = Annual cash flows*Present value annuity factor/ (1 + Rate)Time
= $600*4.21236378546/ (1 + 0.06)5
= $2,527.41827127/ 1.3382255776
= $1,888.63395945
Hence, the future value of the annuity is $1,888.63.
