Assume that you are 23 years old and that you place 3,000 year-end deposits each year into a stock index fund that earns an average of 9.5 per year for the next 17 years.
 
  How much money will be in the account at the end of 17 years? How much money will you have in the account 15 years later at age 55 if the account continues to earn 9.5 per year but you discontinue making new contributions? How much money would you have at the end of 17 years if you had made the same number of deposits but at the beginning of the year instead of at the end of the year? How much money will you have in the account 15 years later at age 55 if the account continues to earn 9.5 per year but you discontinued making new contributions?
  What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

Answer: FV = PMT  = 3,000  = 116,140.50.
Fifteen years later, FV = PV  (1 + r)n = 116,140.50  (1.095)15 = 453,101.48.
Because these are annuities due, the solution is to multiply each answer by (1 + r).
The solutions are 116,140.50  (1.095) = 127,173.85 and 453,101.48  (1.095) = 496,146.12.

Answer to Question 2

B

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
