If the future value of an ordinary, 11-year annuity is $5,575 and interest rates are 5.5 percent, what is the future value of the same annuity due?

Answer:

$5,881.63

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value of an annuity is given by the formula:

[tex]FV=PV[\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}][/tex]

Where

FV is future value

PV is present value

i is interest rate

n is the time period

The future value of annuity DUE is given by the formula:

[tex]FV_d=PV[\frac{(1+i)^n-1}{i}](1+i)[/tex]

Where

[tex]FV_d[/tex] signifies annuity due, and all other variables same

Hence we can see that the future value of annuity due has an extra multiplicative factor of (1+i) with future value of normal annuity. Since the problem tells us the FV of normal annuity is 5575, we simply multiply this by (1+i)=(1+0.055)=1.055 to get future value of annuity due.

Hence, 5575 * 1.055 = $5,881.63 (rounded to 2 decimals)
