(b) Suppose that Patty's husband delays starting an IRA for the first 10 years he works but then makes $2600 deposits at the end of each of the next 15 years. If the interest rate is 10%, compounded annually, and if he leaves the money in his account for 5 additional years, how much will be in his account at the end of the 30-year period?

Answer:

From the question, Stacey deposits $2600 six times over a thirty year period since she makes the deposit every five years. Her amount accures by the formular. A = P(1+r/n)^nt. Where her principal P = $2,600. Rate, r =6% =0.06. Time = 30 years and the period of compounding per unit time, n = 6 years. So we have A =2, 600(1+(0.06/6))^(6*30) = 2, 600 (1 + 0.01)^(180) = 2600* 5.9958 = $15, 587. To the nearest cent we have $15, 590.
