Question

calculator solutionvChang is investing $2,500 today and will do so at the beginning of each of the next six years for a total of seven payments. If her investment can earn 12 percent annually, how much will she have at the end of seven years

Answer 1

Answer: $28,249.25

Explanation:

As the payments are constant, this represents an annuity. Also, as the payment is made at the beginning of every period, it is an Annuity Due.

The value of the end of the 7 years is the future value of the annuity due which is found by:

= Annuity * Future value factor of an annuity, 7 years, 12%

= 2,500 * 11.2997

= $28,249.25
