Future value annuity is calculated using the formula:

FV=P[ ((1+r/100n) ^nt-1) / r]

where:

P=principle

r=rate

t=time

n=number of terms:

Thus:

A monthly deposit of $300, at the rate of 5% in (65-25) = 40 years will give us:

FV=300[ ((1+5/1200) ^480-1) / (5/1200) ]

FV=$457, 806.05

b] A monthly deposit of $400, at the rate of 5% in 40 years will give us:

FV=400[ ((1+5/1200) ^480-1) / (5/1200) ]

FV=$610,408.06
