Explanation / Answer

PV of annuity P = PMT x (((1-(1 + r) ^- n)) / i) Where: P = the present value of an annuity stream PMT = the dollar amount of each annuity payment r = the effective interest rate (also known as the discount rate) i=nominal Interest rate n = the number of periods in which payments will be made PV = 16420*(((1-(1 + 12%) ^-4)) /12%) PV 49,873.28 Balance required as on June 2020 is 49,873.28 FV of annuity The formula for the future value of an ordinary annuity, as opposed to an annuity due, is as follows: P = PMT x ((((1 + r) ^ n) - 1) / i) Where: P = the future value of an annuity stream PMT = the dollar amount of each annuity payment r = the effective interest rate (also known as the discount rate) i=nominal Interest rate n = the number of periods in which payments will be made FV of annual contribution = Annual Contribution * ((((1 + 12%) ^4) - 1) / 12%)                     49,873.28 = Annual Contribution * ((((1 + 12%) ^4) - 1) / 12%)                     49,873.28 = Annual Contribution * 4.779328 Annual Contribution= 49,873.28/4.779328 Annual Contribution= 10,435.21
