Explanation:
If she makes equal contributions then those would be annuities. The $9,000 she wants to have will be the future value of the amount currently in her account and the annuity.
9,000 = 5,000 ( 1 + r) ^ n + ( annuity * future value interest factor of an annuity, 9%, 3 years)
9,000 = 5,000 ( 1 + 9%) ^ 3 + ( Annuity * 3.2781)
9,000 = 6,475.145 + 3.2781 * Annuity
Annuity = (9,000 - 6,475.145) / 3.2781
Annuity = $770.22

Valence: refers to the value attached by the worker to the reward that has been attained.
