Please answer the following questions and submit by due the dates.(20) As part of your retirement planning, you purchase an annuity that pays 4.75% annual interest compounded quarterly.(20.a) If you make quarterly payments of $900 how much will you have saved in 5 years? (20.b). Instead, if you make quarterly payments of $450, how much will you have saved in 10 years?

Respuesta :

Given parameters

rate =4.75%

time= 5years

Annuity due refers to a series of equal payments made at the same interval at the beginning of each period. Periods can be monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, annually, or any other defined period.

The formula to be used will be

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

From the question given

[tex]\begin{gathered} P=900 \\ n=4\times5=20 \\ r=\frac{4.75}{4}=1.1875\text{ \%}=0.011875 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Part A

[tex]900\times\frac{(1+0.011875)^{20}}{0.011875}\times(1+0.011875)[/tex]

=> $97112.04

Part B

n=4x10 =40 (Because it is compounded 4 times a year and then for 10 years)

[tex]450\times\frac{(1+0.011875)^{40}}{0.011875}\times(1.011875)[/tex]

=>$61486.59
