Below is an example that involves repeated investments (an annuity) that receives compound interest.
Example 1a):
A sum of $2 000 is invested at the end of every year, at 8%pa interest, compounded yearly, for 20 years.
What is the future value of this investment?
Enter the values as they appear in the question, pressing EXE after each entry.
NOTES:
n=20 (years)
I%=8; in TVM, the interest is always pa.
PV=0; the annuity started with nothing
PMT is negative; each payment 'leaves' your pocket.
FV CAN BE ANYTHING! It is what we want to know so it makes no difference what number is showing here.
P/Y and C/Y = 1; the interest compounds once a year. P/Y and C/Y are always equal.
Now press F5
for FV (Fig9)
(Fig10)
Press EXIT
Note that FV is positive, not negative, because after 20 years the investment goes back into your pocket.
The investment was $2000 x 20, which is $40 000
(The investment has grown from $40 000 to $91 523.93) (to the nearest cent)
Example 1b:
What is the present value of the annuity in example 1a?
OR
What single investment (earning the same rate of compound interest for 20 years) would give the same future value as the
repeated investments in example 1a?
Enter the values as they appear in the question, pressing EXE after each entry.
