Answer:

  $152,419.36

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value of an ordinary annuity is given by the formula ...

  FV = P((1 +r/12)^(12t) -1)/(r/12)

where P is the monthly payment, r is the annual interest rate, and t is the number of years.

Annuity value

For P = 350, r = 0.021, and t = 27 (years to retirement age), the value is ...

  FV = 350((1 +0.021/12)^324 -1)/(0.021/12) ≈ $152,419.36

The value of Jolene's retirement account when she turns 60 will be $152,419.36.
