The future value of an annuity is given by the formula P=r(FV)/(1+r)^n -1, where P=payment,r=periodic rate of interest,and n is the number of periods. Here,we have payments of 800/month, or 9600/year. The interest rate is 4.2%, and there are 25 periods. So:
9600=.042(FV)/(1.042)^25 -1
FV=410743.60
The expected future value of this annuity is $410743.60. ☺☺☺☺

Depositing $800 per month at an annual interest rate of 4.2%, and compounded monthly, amounts to highlight_green%28%22%24423%2C409.65%22%29 at the end of 25 years.

This is ordinary annuity problem.
We have
FV = PMT[(1+i)^n-1]/i
Here PMT = 800, i = 4.2%/12 = 4.2/1200, n = 25*12 = 300
Hence, FV = 800[(1+4.2/1200)^300-1]/(4.2/1200)
= 423409.65
