Given:
More Money 4U offered an annuity that pays 4.5% compounded monthly
so, the interest rate = r = 4.5% = 0.045, and n = 12
If $1,869 is deposited into this annuity every month
so, the value of P = 1869
we will use the following formula:
[tex]A=\frac{P((1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}-1)}{\frac{r}{n}}[/tex]We will find the value of A after 4 years, t = 4
So, substitute P = 1869, r = 0.045, t = 4, n = 12
[tex]A=\frac{1869\cdot((1+\frac{0.045}{12})^{12\cdot4}-1)}{\frac{0.045}{12}}\approx1869\cdot52.48=98,092.285[/tex]Rounding to the nearest dollar
So, the answer will be the balance of the account = $98,092
