Recently, More Money 4U offered an annuity that pays 4.5% compounded monthly. If $1,643 is deposited into this annuity every month, how much is in the accountols after 11 years? How much of this is interest?

Respuesta :

The rule of the FV (future value) is

[tex]FV=P\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}[/tex]

P is the value each month

i is the rate divided by 12 month

n = number of years x 12 months

Since the deposit every month is $1643, then

[tex]P=1643[/tex]

Since the annuity rate is 4.5%, then

[tex]\begin{gathered} i=\frac{4.5}{12}=0.375\text{ \%} \\ i=\frac{0.375}{100}=0.00375 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since the number of years is 11 years, then

[tex]\begin{gathered} n=11\times12 \\ n=132 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute them in the rule above

[tex]\begin{gathered} FV=1643\frac{(1+0.00375)^{132}-1}{0.00375} \\ FV=279958.5032 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The account will have $279,959 after 11 years to the nearest dollar

To find the interest subtract $1643 x 132 months from the FV

[tex]\begin{gathered} I=FV-n\times P \\ I=279959-132\times1643 \\ I=63083 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The amount of interest is $63,083 to the nearest dollar
