Suppose that you save for retirement by contributing the same amount each month from your 23rd birthday until your 65th birthday, in an account that pays a steady 4% annual interest compounded monthly.

(a) How much will be in your fund at age 65 if you save $100 a month?

yes
PMT = $5000
i = 9%
N = 25
FVA25 = $5000 [( (1+〖9%)〗^25-1 )/(9%)]
= $423 504.4811
= $423 504.50
