Title: Annuity Problems
Post by: Leatherneck on Feb 23, 2014
So this one has me stumped... Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Find the future value of an annuity if you invest $950 quarterly for 7 years at 20% compounded quarterly.



EDIT: Disregard, finally figured it out after 20min.

Future Value = Present Value * (1 + interest%perinterval)^number of intervals

Present value = 950
interest = 20%/4 = .20/4 = .05
number of intervals = 7 * 4 = 28

Future = 950 ( 1 + .05)^28
Future = 950 (1.05)^28
Future = 950(3.92)
Future = 3724
