\n" ); document.write( "Answer: choice B) $34,563.54\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Explanation:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We won't be using the classic compound interest formula.
\n" ); document.write( "This is because Jackson makes periodic deposits rather than one single deposit.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Instead we use the future value of annuity formula.
\n" ); document.write( "\"FV+=+P%2A%28%281%2Bi%29%5En+-+1%29%2Fi\"
\n" ); document.write( "where,
\n" ); document.write( "FV = future value
\n" ); document.write( "P = periodic payment or deposit
\n" ); document.write( "i = interest rate per period (decimal form)
\n" ); document.write( "n = number of periods\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In Jackson's case:
\n" ); document.write( "P = 400
\n" ); document.write( "i = 0.06/12 = 0.005
\n" ); document.write( "n = 12*6 = 72 months\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So,
\n" ); document.write( "\"FV+=+P%2A%28%281%2Bi%29%5En+-+1%29%2Fi\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"FV+=+400%2A%28%281%2B0.005%29%5E72+-+1%29%2F0.005\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"FV+=+34563.5422793314\" approximately\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"FV+=+34563.54\" rounding to the nearest penny\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This points us to choice B as the final answer.\r
