Section 3-3, Future Value of an Annuity; Sinking Funds

An annuity is any sequence of equal periodic payments. If payments are made at the end
of each time interval, then the annuity is called an ordinary annuity. The amount, or
future value, of an annuity is the sum of all payments plus all interest earned.
Future Value of an Ordinary Annuity

(1 + i ) n − 1
FV = PMT
i
where
PMT = periodic payment
i = rate per period
n = number of payments (periods)
FV = future value (amount)

[Note: Payments are made at the end of each period.]

Q1 (#22, page 156). Recently, USG Annuity and Life offered an annuity that pays
7.25% compounded monthly. If $1000 is deposited into this annuity every month,
how much is in the account after 15 years? How much of this is interest?

Q2 (#26, page 157). Recently, The Hartford offered an annuity that pays 5.5%
compounded monthly. What equal monthly deposit should be made into this annuity
in order to have $100,000 in 10 years?

Section 3-3, p.1


Q3 (#30, page 157). If $2000 is deposited at the end of each quarter for 2 years into an
ordinary annuity earning 7.9% compounded quarterly, construct a balance sheet
showing the interest earned during each quarter and the balance at the end of each
quarter.
Period Amount Interest Balance
1 $2,000.00 $0.00 $2,000.00
2 $2,000.00
3 $2,000.00
4 $2,000.00 $120.86 $8,240.14
5 $2,000.00 $162.74 $10,402.88
6 $2,000.00 $205.46 $12,608.34
7 $2,000.00 $249.01 $14,857.35
8 $2,000.00 $293.43 $17,150.78

Any account established for accumulating funds to meet future obligations or debts is
called a sinking fund.

Q4 (#40, page 157). A company establishes a sinking fund for upgrading office
equipment with monthly payments of $2000 into an account paying 0.55% monthly
interest. How long will it be before the account has $100,000? (Round up to the
nearest month if not exact.)
