Question

Maria and John decide to save for retirement with an annuity

 

Answer each of the following questions separately, showing all your work to reach each answer. Only round the final amount.

 

 

A. Maria has found an annuity that pays 2.2% compounded monthly.  If they made a deposit of $200 each month,

 

a. what would be the total value of this annuity at the end of 30 years if the interest rate remains the same? 

 

b. how much interest will they have earned?

 

B. John has found an annuity that pays 2.5% compounded semi-annually.  If they made a deposit of $1,200 every six months,

 

a. what would be the total value of this annuity at the end of 30 years if the interest rate remains the same? 

 

b. how much interest will they have earned?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Step 2

Obtain the total value of the annuity at the end of 30 years using ordinary annuity future value formula,

P[1+r)" -1]
Fv l-r} -1]
360
0.022
200|| 1+
12
-1
(::30×12 = 360)
0.022
12
= $101849.8437
Step 3
Step 4

A) b . Obtain the interest earned as,

Interest eamed =FV – np
= $101849.8437 – 360 × 200
= $29849.8437
