Since your first birthday, your grandparents have been depositing $100 into a savings account every month. The account pays 9% interest annually. Immediately after your grandparents make the deposit on your 18th birthday, the amount of money in your savings account will be closest to ________.

Answer:

$53,635

Explanation:

The question is to calculate the future value of the $100 that is being deposited monthly for 18 years

The formula for the Future value of the deposits is as follows:

FV= P [  (  (1 + r/n)∧ n * Y   -1)   /  r/n)  ]

Where P Deposited amount per month= $100

r= Interest rate  9%

n= the number of deposits made in a year = 12

Y= the number of years=18

Based on the formula

FV= $100  ( ( 1+0.09/1200)∧ 12 * 18   -1)   /  0.09/1200)  ]

FV= $100 [ ( 1.0075∧ 216 -1) /  0.0075]

FV= $100 [( 5.022-1/) 0.0075]

FV= $100 (4.022/0.0075)

FV = $100 x 536.35

FV= $53,635

The amount of money in my savings account will be closest to $54,037.43.

In order to determine the future value with monthly deposits, this formula would be used:

FV = [tex]d * \frac{( 1 + i)^{t} - 1 }{i} * (1 + i)[/tex]

  • FV = future value of the deposit
  • i = interest rate = 9% /12 = 0.75%
  • t = time = 18 x 12 = 216
  • d = monthly deposits = $100

[tex]100 * \frac{(1.0075)^{216} - 1 }{0.0075} * (1.0075)[/tex] = $54,037.43
