Answer:

The future value at 30th birthday is calculated below:

Future value = 500 x (1 + 0.03)^5

Future value = 500 x 1.15927

Future value = 579.64

The computed future value for the 30th birthday is $579.64

The present value is calculated below:

Present value = 500 / 1.03^5

Present value = 500 / 1.15927

Present value = 431.30

The computed present value for the 30th birthday is $431.30
