2. Shiraz deposited $500 at the END of each year for 18 years in a savings account. If the account paid
5% interest, compounded annually, use Table 12-1 from your text to find the future value of his account.
3. Use Table 12-1 of your text to find the future value of $1,300 deposited at the BEGINNING of
every three months, for 3 years if the bank pays 12% interest, compounded quarterly. number of
payments n=(3 years)*(4 quarters per year)+1(due to payment in beginning)
n=3*4+1=13
rate of interest i=12%yearly= 12%/4 quarterly=0.03
payment per period R= $1300
Hence future value S is given by formula :
Hence future value is
4. Lidia deposits $900 at the END of each year for 9 years in a savings account. The
account pays 8% interest, compounded annually. Lidia calculates that the future value
of the ordinary annuity is $11,238.80. What would be the future value if deposits are
made at the BEGINNING of each period rather than the END
Future value of annuity due = (1+r)×P[(1+r)^n-1]÷r
r is interest rate
P is payment per period
n is number of payments
= (1+8%)×$900×[(1+8%)^9-1]÷8%
= $12,137.9
