Answer:
Jane
The amount of the annual installment is:
$530.98
Explanation:
Present value of audio system = $3,000
Interest rate (r) = 12%
Number of years for installments (n) = 10 years
The future value = PV * (1 + r)∧n
= $3,000 * (1 + 0.12)∧10
= Future value of the audio system
= $9,318 ($3,000 * 3.106)
Jane will need to contribute $530.98 at the end of each period to reach the future value of $9,318.00.
From online financial calculator:
FV (Future Value) $9,318.00
PV (Present Value) $3,000.15
