document.write( "    FV = \"P%2A%28%28%281%2Br%29%5En-1%29%2Fr%29\",    (1)\r\n" );

document.write( "where  FV is the future value of the account;  P is your annual payment (deposit); r is the annual percentage rate \r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Under the given conditions, P = 2000;  r = 0.05;  n = 20.  So, according to the formula (1), you get at the end of the 20-th year\r\n" );

document.write( "    FV = \"2000%2A%28%28%281%2B0.05%29%5E20-1%29%2F0.05%29\" = $66,131.91.\r\n" );

document.write( "The rest,  66,131.91 - 40,000.00 = 26,131.91 is the interest, which the account earns/accumulates in 20 years.\r\n" );
