To calculate the future value of an annuity (regular deposits) with compounded interest, you can use the formula: \[ FV = P \times \frac{(1 + r)^n - 1}{r} \] Where: - \( FV \) is the future value of the annuity - \( P \) is the annual deposit (\$1000) - \( r \) is the interest rate (28% or 0.28) - \( n \) is the number of years (15) Plugging in the values: \[ FV = 1000 \times \frac{(1 + 0.28)^{15} - 1}{0.28} \] Calculating this step by step, we first find \( (1 + 0.28)^{15} \) which equals approximately \( 24.603 \): \[ FV = 1000 \times \frac{24.603 - 1}{0.28} \approx 1000 \times \frac{23.603}{0.28} \approx 1000 \times 84.3 \approx 84300 \] So, in 15 years, you will have approximately \( \$84,300 \) in your account!
