How to calculate future value?

We want to find the balance in Yolanda's saving plan after 14 years.

For Yolanda;

PV = 0

PMT = 250

i% = 4%/12 = 0.33%

N = 14 yrs * 12 = 168

FV = ?

For Zach:

PV = 0

PMT = $3300

i% = 4%

N = 14 yrs

FV = ?

From online future value calculator, we have;

Yolanda FV = $9,455.36

Zach FV = $47,204.19
