Answer to Question #280782 in Accounting for vangie

Question

what is the future value of an annuity if the size of each payment is 2, 500, payable at the end of each quarter for five years at an interest rate of 9%

Answer 1

Periodic payment = 2,500

Interest rate = 9%

Time period = 5 years

The future value of an annuity (EVA) is calculated as follows:

$FVA=P\times\frac{[(1+i)^{n} -1}{i}$

where;

P = 2500

n = 5*4 = 20

i = 9% / 4 = 2.25%

$FVA=2500\times\frac{[(1+0.025)^{20} -1}{0.025}$

$FVA=62278.8$
