I NEED HELP PLEASE! find the value of the annuity. a1 = $7000. I= 0.09. n=5 What is the future value of the annuity? $ ___ (round to the nearest cent)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[FV=PMT\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}\] I'm guess your a1 is the monthly (periodic) payment? Just use the formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

been on this question for over an hour, can not get the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You might be typing it into your calculator the wrong way. What are you getting?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just don't know how to do it, i am so confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Substituting the given numbers into the formula, you get\[FV=7000\frac{(1+0.09)^5-1}{0.09}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would you then multiply 7000 times 0.09 to get the answer?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

any tables?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tables?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if your doing a financial exam ... they give you tables to play with to determine the factor for a given annuity ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if you are just spose to do this using recursion equation, you can build your own

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the table in my book says: FV-OA, future value of an ordinary annuity -----------9% | | | | 5 ------5.98471 so that would be the factor, or multiplier for the FV

OpenStudy (amistre64):

of course sith gave the formula they present at the top of the table :)
