You are hoping to buy a new boat 3 years from now, and you plan to save $4,200 per year, beginning one year from today. You will deposit your savings in an account that pays 5.2% interest.

To calculate the future value we need to use the following formula:

FV = {A*[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/i

A = annual deposit

FV = {4,200*[ (1.052^2) - 1]}/0.052 + 4,200 = $12,818.4
