Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Identify the annuity - formula
We use the future - value of an ordinary annuity formula $F = A\times\frac{(1 + r)^{n}-1}{r}$, where $A$ is the annual payment, $r$ is the interest rate per period, and $n$ is the number of periods. Here, $A = 50$, $r=0.07$, and $n = 25$.
Step2: Calculate $(1 + r)^{n}$
$(1 + 0.07)^{25}=1.07^{25}\approx5.42743$.
Step3: Calculate $(1 + r)^{n}-1$
$5.42743-1 = 4.42743$.
Step4: Calculate $\frac{(1 + r)^{n}-1}{r}$
$\frac{4.42743}{0.07}\approx63.249$.
Step5: Calculate the future - value $F$
$F=50\times63.249 = 3162.45\approx3162$.
