A sinking fund is an account earning compound interest $\\$ into which you make periodic deposits. $\\$ Let it have an annual rate of r compounded m times per year, $\\$ i = r /m is the interest rate per compounding period. $\\$ If you make a payment of PMT at the end of each period, $\\$ then the future value after t years, or n = mt periods, will be$\\$ $FV=PMT\displaystyle \cdot\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}\\\\$ ----------------- Here, $\\$ $t=10$ years$,\\$ m= $12 \ \ \ $compunding period per year,$\\$ $n=mt=120 \ \ $(number of periods)$\\$ $\displaystyle \mathrm{i}=\frac{r}{m}=\frac{0.05}{12}\approx 0.004167 \ \ $(rate per compounding period)$\\$ $PMT=100\ \ \ $( payment at the end of each period)$\\\\$ $ FV=PMT\displaystyle \cdot\frac{(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{120}-1}{\frac{0.05}{12}}\approx$15528.2279446
