You can put this solution on YOUR website!
f = p * (1+r)^n

f is the future value
p is the present value
r is the interest rate per time period.
n is the number of time periods.

you have:
p = 25,000
r = 5% / 12 / 100 = .0041666667
n = 4 * 12 = 48

formula becomes f = 25,000 * (1.0041666667)^48.

solve for f to get f = 30522.38388
