a.$670.44
b.$842.91
c.$1,169.56
d.$1,522.64
e.$1,348.48 200

Answer 1

Answer: The future value is $1348.48

Explanation:

To calculate the future value of annuity, we use the equation:

$\text{Future value of annuity}=P[\frac{(1+r)^n-1}{r}]$

where,

P = principle amount = $ 200

r = Rate of interest = 15 % = 0.15

n = number of periods = 5

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Future value of annuity}=200[\frac{(1+0.15)^5-1}{0.15}]\\\\\text{Future value of annuity}=\ 1348.48$

Hence, the future value is $1348.48
