Veronica plans to make a $95 a month annuity payment to an account that earns 3% annual interest to build up her savings. How much can she save in 10 years with this plan?

A. $7,122.49

B. $13,275.43

C. $21,846.27

D. $38,960.76..

I think the answer is D but I'm not very good at this stuff... Please help it's URGENT!!!

Hint:

 

Since Veronica earns 3% or 0.03 annual (per year) interest, the amount she earns in ten years will be (0.03)^10.


We can easily write an equation that shows how much Veronica wants to earn.

 

Hope this helped!

For payments made at the BEGINNING OF THE MONTH   (payment due annuity)

 

    ​P=PMT×((1+r)n−1)/r  ​×  (1+r)​

 

For payments made at the END OF THE MONTH (ordinary annuity....more common)

   P =PMT X ((1+r)n  -1)/r       I'll use this one

        PMT = 95      r = 3%/12months = .0025 % per month      n = 10 years * 12 months/year  = 120 months

 

 P = 95 ( ( 1+.0025)120 -1 ) / .0025   =  $ 13 275.43
