Answer:

The value of her account after 25 years, if she stays true to the plan is:

= $152,823.31.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Initial deposits = $35,000

Period of investment = 25 years

Interest rate per year = 3.5% compounded continuously

Annual deposit into the same account = $1,800

Period of investment = 25 at 3.5% interest rate

Total value of her IRA account after 25 years:

Future value of $35,000 =       $82,713.57

Future value of $1,800 yearly = 70,109.74

Total future value =                 $152,823.31

From an online financial calculator:

N (# of periods)  25
