Bram Johnson invests $500 at the end of each quarter for 10 years. The account earns 8% interest annually. What is the value of the account at the end of 10 years

Respuesta :

Based on the period of investment, the amount invested and the annual interest, the value will be $30,201.

As the same amount is invested every time, this is an annuity. The future value of an annuity is calculated as:

= Amount x ( ( 1 + rate) ^ number of periods - 1) / rate

Rate = 8% / 4 quarters in a year = 2% per quarter

Period = 10 x 4 quarters = 40 quarters

Future value is:

= 500 x ( ( 1 + 2%)⁴⁰ - 1) / 2%

= 30,200.99

= $30,201

In conclusion, the account would be worth $30,201.
