Learn how to calculate the future value of periodic deposits known as annuities using geometric sum formula. Discover the interest earned, future value formula, and examples for practical application in Mat 112. Explore solving for PMT and determining the total amount with step-by-step guidance.
E N D
First, a note To compute a particular type of sum (a “geometric sum”), where the terms are powers of some number, such as: The total is simply given by
Future Value formula Why? Results from determining the geometric sum.
Examples for Future Value Mat 112
Calculate carefully! PMT = $104.31 (or round up to $104.32 to be safe)
Solving for n? Mat 112
Or simply, Using the Log…
Not Another Formula? Although the text offers this result as a new formula and we could memorize It seems more reasonable to just solve this exponential equation in the usual way.
