THEOREM: Amount of an Annuity Suppose that $P$ is the deposit in dollars made at the end of each payment period for annnuity paying i percent interest per payment period. The amount $A$ of the annuity after $n$ deposits is$ A=P\displaystyle \frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}$ --- $P=?$ $n=12\cdot 10=120$ $i=\displaystyle \frac{0.06}{12}=0.005$ $A=50,000$ $ 50,000=P\displaystyle \frac{(1+0.05)^{120}-1}{0.05}\qquad$ solve for $P$ $P=\displaystyle \frac{50,000\cdot 0.005}{(1+0.05)^{120}-1}\approx 305.10$
