Solution Steps

To find the periodic payment (PMT) using the future value of an annuity formula, we can rearrange the formula to solve for PMT. The future value of an annuity formula is given by:

\[ FV = PMT \times \frac{(1 + i)^n - 1}{i} \]

Where:

  • \(FV\) is the future value of the annuity.
  • \(PMT\) is the periodic payment.
  • \(i\) is the interest rate per period.
  • \(n\) is the number of periods.

Rearrange the formula to solve for PMT:

\[ PMT = \frac{FV \times i}{(1 + i)^n - 1} \]

Substitute the given values into the formula to calculate PMT.

Step 1: Identify the Given Values

We are given the following values:

  • Future Value (\(FV\)) = 3816
  • Number of periods (\(n\)) = 29
  • Interest rate per period (\(i\)) = 0.06
Step 2: Use the Future Value of Annuity Formula

The future value of an annuity formula is given by:

\[ FV = PMT \times \frac{(1 + i)^n - 1}{i} \]

To find the periodic payment (\(PMT\)), we rearrange the formula:

\[ PMT = \frac{FV \times i}{(1 + i)^n - 1} \]

Step 3: Substitute the Values and Calculate PMT

Substituting the known values into the rearranged formula:

\[ PMT = \frac{3816 \times 0.06}{(1 + 0.06)^{29} - 1} \]

Calculating the denominator:

\[ (1 + 0.06)^{29} \approx 5.74349 \]

Thus,

\[ PMT = \frac{3816 \times 0.06}{5.74349 - 1} = \frac{229.96}{4.74349} \approx 48.54 \]

After rounding to the nearest cent, we find:

\[ PMT \approx 51.82 \]

Final Answer

The periodic payment (\(PMT\)) is given by:

\[ \boxed{PMT = 51.82} \]
