Show formula, variables, calculation and a concluding statement in your response.
An annuity refers to a series of equal cash flows made at regular intervals. The future value of an ordinary annuity formula allows us to determine the accumulated value of these monthly contributions over time, taking into account the interest earned on the investments. It considers the time value of money and the compounding effect of investment returns over time.
