It is about calculating future value of an Ordinary Annuity saving plan. The general formula is 


    FV = ,    (1)


where  FV is the future value of the account;  P is the monthly payment (deposit); 1+r is the monthly growth coefficient; 
n is the number of deposits.


Under the given conditions, P = 2500;  r = 0.05/12;  n = 12.  So, according to the formula (1), Anjo gets at the end of the year


    FV =  = P30697.14.


Note that Anjo deposits only  12*P2500 = P30,000.  The rest is what the account earns/accumulates in 12 months.
