Explanation:

Giving the following information:

He saves $500 per month for 15 years and earns 7% by investing in the stock market through an index fund.

I assume we have to determine the value of the investment at the time of retirement.

We need to use the following formula:

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

A= monthly deposit= 500

n= 15*12= 180

i= 0.07/12= 0.005833

FV= {500*[(1.005833^180) - 1]} / 0.006833

FV= $158,475.64
