Question 1112473: 1.) A savings account in which people make regular payment amounts to save toward future goals like college or retirement is called an annuity. In the formula below, P is the regular payment amount, n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year (which is also the number of payments made per year), r is the annual interest rate, A is the future value of the annuity, and t is the number of years:
A(t)=P[1+r/n)^nt - 1]/r/n

After getting all these detailed explanations and instructions, all you need to do is to substitute the values into the formula


a)  A(t) = 200%2A+%28%281%2B0.042%2F12%29%5E%2812%2At%29-1%29+%2F+%280.042%2F12%29


b)  and then use your calculator and calculate the value A(8)


Is still something what you do not understand ?

This assignment is not about thinking.

It is about taking your calculator and pressing buttons, without asking questions.
