Solution
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:
