This is the example of an annuity. annuities are recurring payments, such as the rent or interest on a bond. The future value of an annuity is the total value of payments at a specific point in time while the present value is how much money would be required now to produce those future payments.
There are of two types :
We are required to find the future value of $175 ordinary annuity at 6 % per year at the end of 10 years.
Formula for Future Value is FV Ordinary Annuity=C × [(1+i)n−1/ i ]
where:C=cash flow per periodi=interest raten=number of payments
FV = 175 × [(1+0.06)10−1/ 0.06]
= 175 ×[(1.06)10−1/ 0.06]
= 175 × [1.7908 −1/ 0.06]
= 175 × [0.7908 / 0.06]
= 175 × 13.18
= $ 2306.64
Money in the account at the end of 10 years will be $ 2306.64 .
