individual retirement account and contributed to it for a total of ten years. The account
earned interest at 11% per annum, compounded quarterly. The amount that was available

Answer:

Annuities – You need to establish if you are dealing with the future or the present value of
an annuity. What is given: payment or present/future value? What do you have to calculate:
payment or present/future value?

In this case you need to calculate Future Value:

Using the Sharp EL-738F calculator:

, OR:

Payment = 𝑅7 440
0,11
I/YR = = 0,0275
4

N = 10 × 4 = 40
(1+𝑖)𝑛 −1
𝑆 = 𝑟[ ]
𝑖
(1+0,0275)40 −1
7 440 [ ]
0,0275
= 𝑅530 235,00
