An annuity is an account into which money is deposited every year. The amount of money, $A$ in dollars, in the account after $t$ yr of depositing $c$ dollars at the beginning of every year earning an interest rate $r$ (as a decimal) is $A=c\left[\frac{(1+r)^{t}-1}{r}\right](1+r)$ Use the formula for Exercises $77-80 .$ Patrice will deposit $\$ 4000$ every year in an annuity for 10 yr at a rate of $7 \%$. How much will be in the account after 10 yr?

Key Concepts

Compound Interest

Compound interest is the process of earning interest not only on the initial principal but also on the accumulated interest from previous periods. This exponential growth factor is central to understanding how investments in annuities or other financial products build over time.

Future Value of an Annuity

The future value of an annuity is the sum total accumulated from a series of equal periodic payments at a fixed interest rate over a specified period. It involves summing up each payment after it has been compounded over time, providing a measure of the account's value at the end of the term.

Annuity

An annuity is a financial product where equal payments or deposits are made at regular intervals, typically used for saving or investment purposes and often associated with either saving for retirement or systematic withdrawals during retirement.

Annuity Due

An annuity due is a form of annuity in which deposits are made at the beginning of each period. This timing means that each payment has one extra period to earn interest compared to an ordinary annuity, resulting in a higher total accumulated value.
