3) Bill plans to fund his individual retirement account (IRA) by contributing $2,000 at the end of each year for the next 20 years. If Bill can earn 12 percent on his contributions, how much will he have at the end of the twentieth year?

Respuesta :

Answer:

FV =  $144,104.88

Explanation:

To determine the amount that Bill will accumulate is the future value of annual amount invested at 12% compounded annually.

The formula for the future value is given below:

The  investment:

FV = A× ((1+r)^n - 1)/r

r- 12%, A- 2000, n- 20

FV = 2,000× ((1.12)^20 -1)/0.12

FV = 2000 × 72.05244

FV =  $144,104.88

Future value of annuity is the total value of a series of recurring payments at a specified future date. Bill will have $144,104.88 at the end of 20th year.

What is Future Value of Annuity?

Future annuity value is the value of repeated payments at a certain future date, deducted a certain refund rate, or a discount rate. The higher the discount rate, the greater the annuity amount.

As per the given information, Future value of annuity is equal to:

[tex]\rm\, FV = A\times \dfrac{[(1+r)^{n} - 1]}{r}\\\\Where, A = Periodic \,Payment\\\\ Rate (r)= Rate\,Per\, period\\\\Number\,of\,Periods (n) = 20[/tex]

[tex]\rm\,FV = 2,000\times \dfrac{[(1+0.12)^{20} - 1]}{0.12}\\\\FV = 2000 \times 72.05244\\\\FV = \$144,104.88[/tex]

Hence, Bill will have $144,104.88 at the end of 20th year.
