Jak starts to save at age 40 for a vacation home that he wants to buy for his 50th birthday. He will contribute $1000 each quarter to an account, which earns 2.1% interest, compounded annually. What is the future value of the investment, rounded to the nearest dollar, when jak is ready to purchase the vacation home?

Answer:

[tex]P=\$40840[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:[tex]I=840[/tex]

From the question we are told that:

Time interval [tex]t=50-40=>10years[/tex]

Annual contribution [tex]X= 4*1000=>\$4000[/tex]

Annual interest rate [tex]r=2.1\%[/tex]

Generally the 10 years interest I is mathematically given by

[tex]I=X*t*r[/tex]

[tex]I=4000*0.021*10[/tex]

[tex]I=840[/tex]

Generally the equation for  the future value of the investment [tex]P[/tex]  is mathematically given by

 [tex]P=X*t+840[/tex]

 [tex]P=(4000*10)+840[/tex]

 [tex]P=\$40840[/tex]
