Work Step by Step

A sinking fund is an account earning compound interest into which you make periodic deposits. Here, $\\\\$ r$=0.0475 \ \ \ \ ...$annual rate$, \\\\$ m$=12 \ \ \ \ $ ...compounding periods per year, $\\\\$ i = r /m$=\displaystyle \frac{0.0475}{12} \ \ \ \ ...$ interest rate per compounding period. $\\\\$ If you make a payment of PMT$=100 \\\\$ at the end of each period, then the future value $\\\\$ after $t=5$ years, $\\\\$ or, $n = mt =12(5)=60 \ \ \ \ ...$ periods, $\\\\$ will be$\\\\$ $FV=PMT\displaystyle \cdot\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}\\\\$ $=100\displaystyle \cdot\frac{(1+\frac{0.0475}{12})^{60}-1}{\frac{0.0475}{12}}\approx$6757.40572075
