Answer:

Formula: Future value of annuity

In 20 years: $249,875

Total Interest: $99,875

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula for future value:

FV =

P = $6,000

r = 0.04

n = 1

t = 25

FV =

FV = $249,875

To find the total interest earned, first find the total value of the deposit payments:

$6,000 annual payments for 25 years = 6,000 • 25

= $150,000
