The FV of this ordinary annuity is $6,908.22.<br />

We will use Excel to verify the future value of the $500 that was deposited into the annuity at the<br />

end of period 1. (See Exhibit 4.13.) As stated in Exhibit 4.11, this payment had a value of $919 at the<br />

end of the annuity. To determine the value of this individual payment:<br />

• Enter the following values into cells C4, C5, and C6, respectively.<br />

C4 = -$500<br />

C5 = 7%<br />

C6 = 9 (The payment is made at the end of the period; therefore, the value of N = 9.)<br />

• Now enter the “=” sign into cell C8.<br />

• Now select “FV” from the functions box.<br />

• Now enter the Rate value (select cell C5).<br />

• Now enter the Nper value (select cell C6).<br />

• Skip or enter a “0” for Pmt (we are only interested in the FV of a single payment).<br />

• Now enter the PV value (select cell C4).<br />

• Skip or enter a “0” for Type.<br />

• Now select “OK” in the function argument box.<br />
