Expert Solution
Step 1

Future Value of Annuity:

It refers to the future worth of the periodic payments made at the end of each period. 

Future value is calculated by compounding these periodic payments with an interest rate. The higher the rate of interest, the higher the future value of the annuity will be.

The concept of future value is used by many investors to know their portfolio worth.
