Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that Eve has decided to deposit $250 at the end of each month into an annuity with a 3.25% compounded monthly. Also given that if Eve retires in 20 years, we are asked to find the future value of her annuity. 

(a) Since Eve deposits every month, the investment is a recurring investment. 

(b) We are asked to find the number of compounding periods per year.

Since the interest is compounded monthly, we can find the compounding periods per year as 12.
