Solution:

The formula for calculating the Future value of periodic investments at the end of n years is

= P * [ [ ( 1 + r ) ⁿ- 1 ] / r ]

Where P = Periodic Deposit i.e., Fixed amount of Annual deposit

r = rate of interest earned annually ; n = no. of years

A per the information given in the question we have

P = $ 1,000 ; r = 5 % = 0.05 ; n = 10

Applying the above values in the formula we have:

= $ 1000 * [ [ ( 1 + 0.05 ) ¹⁰ - 1 ] / 0.05 ]

= $ 1000 * [ [ ( 1.05 ) ¹⁰ - 1 ] / 0.05 ]

= $ 1000 * [ [ 1.6289 – 1 ] / 0.05 ]

= $ 1000 * [ 0.6289 / 0.05 ]

= $ 1000 * 12.5780

= $ 12,578

Thus the Solution is Option 3. $ 12,578

Thus if an investment of $1,000 a year is made for a period of 10 years in a mutual fund that earns 5 % annually, the value at the end of 10 years = $ 12,578

Note: The value of ( 1.05 ) ¹⁰ is calculated using the Excel formula =POWER(Number,Power)

=POWER(1.05,10)= 1.6289

You do not need a lot of money to invest in a mutual fund. However, if you decide to put some money into an investment, you are usually advised to leave it in for (at least) several years. Why? Because good years tend to cancel out bad years, giving you a better overall return with less risk. To see what we mean, let's use a 3-year moving average on the Calvert Social Balanced Fund (a socially responsible fund). Year 1...
