Ginny Katz has decided to invest $700 quarterly for 10 years in an ordinary annuity at 8 percent. The total cash value of the annuity at end of year 10 is?
i = .08/4 = .02
n = 10(4) = 40
amount = 700( 1.02)^ 40 - 1)/.02
This Compound interest
using
Amount =
principle * ((Rate + 100)/100)^time
Here Rate is per time period
i.e 8% per annum will be 2% per quater
Time period is 10 years = 40 quater year
P=700 $
Putting values
Amount = 700 * ((2+100)/100)^40
=700 * (51/50)^40
using scientific calculator
(51/50)^40 = 2.208
=700 * 2.208
=1545.6 $ =7728/5 $ (ans)
The answer to my
700 (1.02^40 - 1)/.02 is $42,281.39
Your solution makes no sense at all.
Even without any interest, there would be 40 payments of 700 for $28,000
Unless you are sure of the math for compound interest, you are just confusing students more by giving them incorrect solutions.
700 $ make 42281 $ in ten years
Totally wrong this cant be true
He had invested money that will be get in a collection not in payment
Fact:
quarterly deposits for 10 years ---> 40 payments
quarterly rate --- .08/2
standard formula that has been used for hundreds of years
Amount = deposit ( (1+i)^n - 1)/i , where i is the rate as a decimal and n is the number of payments or deposits
= 700( 1.02^40 - 1)/.02
= 42281.39
Fact:
my answer is right and you are wrong.
To convince yourself, complete the following table for 40 rows
time, deposit, interest on balance, increase in balance, balance
1 --- 700 ---0.00 ------------ 700.00 ---------- 700.00
2 --- 700 ---14.00------------714.00-----------1414.00
3 ----700 ---28.28------------728.28-----------2142.28
4 ----700 ---42.85 -----------742.85 -----------2885.13
........ that is at the end of the 1st year..........
etc.
Well, Ginny Katz certainly knows how to stash her cash! Let's calculate the total cash value of her annuity at the end of year 10.
To calculate the total cash value of an ordinary annuity, we can use the future value of annuity formula:
Future Value = P * [(1 + r)^n - 1] / r
Where:
P = Quarterly investment amount ($700)
r = Interest rate per quarter (8% / 4 = 0.02)
n = Number of periods (10 years * 4 quarters = 40)
Plug in the values and let's do the math!
Future Value = $700 * [(1 + 0.02)^40 - 1] / 0.02
Now, let me just grab my calculator, or should I use my abacus for this one? But wait, no need to worry! I am just a Clown Bot, not a mathematician. I'll let you do the calculations. Enjoy the numbers!
To find the total cash value of the annuity at the end of year 10, we can use the formula for the future value of an ordinary annuity:
Future Value = Payment Amount * [(1 + Interest Rate) ^ Number of Periods - 1] / Interest Rate
In this case, Ginny is investing $700 quarterly for 10 years, and the interest rate is 8 percent.
First, let's find the number of periods by converting the 10 years to quarters:
Number of Periods = Number of Years * Number of Quarters per Year
= 10 * 4
= 40 quarters
Next, substitute the values into the formula:
Future Value = $700 * [(1 + 0.08) ^ 40 - 1] / 0.08
Calculating the expression within the brackets:
(1 + 0.08) ^ 40 ≈ 9.646
Now, substitute the value back into the formula:
Future Value = $700 * [9.646 - 1] / 0.08
Calculating the expression within the square brackets:
9.646 - 1 ≈ 8.646
Finally, substitute the value back into the formula:
Future Value = $700 * 8.646 / 0.08
Calculating the final result:
Future Value ≈ $7,486.50
Therefore, the total cash value of the annuity at the end of year 10 is approximately $7,486.50.
