1. Aim: Money Matters – Future Value of Annuities Course: Math Literacy Aim: How does money matter? Annuities – a savings plan for the future. Do Now: At the end of every month for the next six months you deposit $60 in an account that earns 12% compounded monthly. How much would you have at the end of the 6 th month? today 1 st m. 2 nd 3 rd 4 th 5 th 6 th 0 60(1 + 0.01) 5 = 63.06 60(1 + 0.01) 4 = 62.44 60(1 + 0.01) 3 = 61.82 60(1 + 0.01) 2 = 61.21 60(1 + 0.01) 1 = 60.60 60 Total 369.13

2. Aim: Money Matters – Future Value of Annuities Course: Math Literacy A Savings Plan – An Annuity What size deposit do you need to make regularly in an account with a fixed interest rate, to have a specific amount at a particular time in the future? Ex. A graduate at her first job saves $100 per month, deposited directly into her credit union account on payday, the last day of the month. The account earns 1.8% per year compounded monthly. How much will she have at the end of five years? Annuity – a sequence of payments into or out of an interest-bearing account; a specified number of periodic payments

A graduate at her first job saves $100 per month, deposited directly into her credit union account on payday, the last day of the month. The account earns 1.8% per year compounded monthly. How much will she have at the end of five years? Note: r in S n is ratio not interest; r = 1.0015 n is the number of compounding: 60 i is interest rate for n th period n is number of deposits d is amount of period deposit

A graduate at her first job saves $100 per month, deposited directly into her credit union account on payday, the last day of the month. The account earns 1.8% per year compounded monthly. How much will she have at the end of five years? Future value, A, of an annuity Future Value (A); m – periodic payment; r – annual rate; t – time in years; and n – number of times per year payment is made

8. Aim: Money Matters – Future Value of Annuities Course: Math Literacy Model Problem Financial advisors stress the importance of beginning early to save for retirement. Many offer a 401k plan which allows an employee to make monthly contribution to a retirement account. The plan has the advantage that income tax on the contributions is deferred until the employee withdraws the money during retirement. You start a 401k when you turn 23 and contribute $50 at the end of each month until you turn 65 and retire. You put your money in a safe investment fund that earns a steady 5% annual interest compounded monthly. How much will you retirement fund be worth at retirement?
