Question 1205192
.
Find the amount accumulated FV in the given annuity account. 
(Assume end-of-period deposits and compounding at the same intervals as deposits. 
Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
$200 is deposited monthly for 10 years at 3% per year in an account containing $7,000 at the start
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
It works as if you have two separate accounts:


    (a) one account is the principal $7000 deposited once for 10 years at 3% per year compounded monthly;


    (b) and the other, which is an Ordinary Annuity plan with $200 deposits at the end of each month 
        at 3% per year compounded monthly.



For the first account, the future value after 10 years is

        FV1 = {{{7000*(1+0.03/12)^(10*12)}}} = 9445.47  dollars  (rounded).



For the second account, the future value after 10 years is

        FV2 = {{{200*((1+0.03/12)^(10*12)-1)/(0.03/12))}}} = 27948.28  dollars  (rounded).



Now, the future value of the original account in 10 years is the sum of these two amounts 


        FV = FV1 + FV2 = 9445.47 + 27948.28  = 37393.76 dollars.   


<U>ANSWER</U>.  Future value in 10 years is 37393.76 dollars.

Solved.
