Work Step by Step

A sinking fund is an account earning compound interest into which you make periodic deposits. $\\$ $FV=PMT\displaystyle \cdot\frac{(1+i)^{n}-1}{i}\\\\$ In the meantime, the amount that already exists in the account earns interest (compound formula) $FV_{0}=PV(1+i)^{n}$ ---------------- Here, $\\$ $t=10$ years$,\\$ m= $12 \ \ \ $compounding periods per year,$\\$ $n=mt=120 \ \ $(total number of periods)$\\$ $\displaystyle \mathrm{i}=\frac{r}{m}=\frac{0.05}{12} \ \ $(rate per compounding period$)\\$ $PMT=100\ \ \ $( payment at the end of each period)$\\\\$ $FV=100\displaystyle \cdot\frac{(1+\frac{0.05}{12})^{120}-1}{\frac{0.05}{12}}\approx\$ 15,528.23$ $-----------$ Meanwhile, the PV=5000 earns interest and grows to$\\\\$ $FV_{0}=5000(1+\displaystyle \frac{0.05}{12})^{120}\approx\$ 8,235.05\\\\$ $Total\approx\$ 23,763.28$
