Answer #1

Initial deposit = 1500

Monthly deposits = 250

Annual rate of interest = 6%

Calculate Future value after 2nd year.

Mothly interest rate = 0.06/12 = 0.005

Time period = 2*12 = 24

Future Value = 1500 (1 + 0.005) 24 + 250 [(1 + 0.005) 24 – 1 ÷ 0.005]

Future Value = 1690.73 + 6357.99

Future Value = 8048.72

Rounding off to nearest dollar, Future Value = $8,049

The deposit after two year will be $8,049

Alternatively, we can use the compound interest factors for the calculation of future value

FV = 1500 (F/P, 0.5%, 24) + 250 (F/A, 0.5%, 24)

FV = 1500 (1.1272) + 250 (25.4320)

FV = 8,048.8 or 8,049
