Explanation / Answer

Interest rate = 8/4 = 2% per quarter

First we need to calculate FV of the annuity

Annuity is series of equal cash flows for certain period of time, if periodic cash flow is P, number of period is n, and interest per period is r then future value of cash flow will be

FV of annuity = P [(1 + r)^n - 1]/ r

Let's put the values in the formula,

= 1100[(1 + 0.02)^16 - 1]/ 0.02

= 1100[(1.02 )^16 - 1]/ 0.02

= 1100 ( 1.37278570509061 ) - 1/ 0.02

= 1100 ( 0.372785705090612 )/ 0.02

= 1100 * 18.6392852545306

= 20503.21

So after 4 years, he will have $20503.21 in his account.

That amount is further invested for 3 years.

Future value is calculated by Compounding the Present cash flow

The formula is,

FV = Present value *(1 + r)^n

= 20503.21*(1 + 0.09)^3

= 20503.21*(1.09)^3

= 20503.21*(1.295029)

= 26552.25
After 3 years account balance will be $26552.25
