Question 1173154: A person wants to deposit $10,000 per year for 6 years. If interest is earned at the rate of
10 percent per year, compute the amount to which the deposits will grow by the end of the 6 years if:
(a) Deposits of $10,000 are made at the end of each year with interest compounded annually.
(b) Deposits of $5,000 are made at the end of each 6-month period with interest com pounded semiannually.
(e) Deposits of $2,500 are made at the end of every quarter with interest compounded

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's break down each scenario and calculate the future value of the deposits:
**(a) Annual Deposits of $10,000**
* **Deposit (PMT):** $10,000
* **Interest Rate (r):** 10% or 0.10
* **Number of Years (n):** 6
* **Compounding:** Annually
We'll use the future value of an ordinary annuity formula:
FV = PMT * [((1 + r)^n - 1) / r]
FV = $10,000 * [((1 + 0.10)^6 - 1) / 0.10]
FV = $10,000 * [(1.10^6 - 1) / 0.10]
FV = $10,000 * [(1.771561 - 1) / 0.10]
FV = $10,000 * [0.771561 / 0.10]
FV = $10,000 * 7.71561
FV = $77,156.10
**(b) Semi-annual Deposits of $5,000**
* **Deposit (PMT):** $5,000
* **Annual Interest Rate (r):** 10% or 0.10
* **Semi-annual Interest Rate (i):** 0.10 / 2 = 0.05
* **Number of Years (n):** 6
* **Number of Periods (N):** 6 * 2 = 12
* **Compounding:** Semi-annually
FV = PMT * [((1 + i)^N - 1) / i]
FV = $5,000 * [((1 + 0.05)^12 - 1) / 0.05]
FV = $5,000 * [(1.05^12 - 1) / 0.05]
FV = $5,000 * [(1.795856 - 1) / 0.05]
FV = $5,000 * [0.795856 / 0.05]
FV = $5,000 * 15.917127
FV = $79,585.64
**(c) Quarterly Deposits of $2,500**
* **Deposit (PMT):** $2,500
* **Annual Interest Rate (r):** 10% or 0.10
* **Quarterly Interest Rate (i):** 0.10 / 4 = 0.025
* **Number of Years (n):** 6
* **Number of Periods (N):** 6 * 4 = 24
* **Compounding:** Quarterly
FV = PMT * [((1 + i)^N - 1) / i]
FV = $2,500 * [((1 + 0.025)^24 - 1) / 0.025]
FV = $2,500 * [(1.025^24 - 1) / 0.025]
FV = $2,500 * [(1.808734 - 1) / 0.025]
FV = $2,500 * [0.808734 / 0.025]
FV = $2,500 * 32.34936
FV = $80,873.40
**Summary**
* **(a)** $77,156.10
* **(b)** $79,585.64
* **(c)** $80,873.40
