Giving the following information:

You are hoping to buy a new boat 3 years from now, and you plan to save $4,200 per year, beginning one year from today. You will deposit your savings in an account that pays 5.2% interest.

To calculate the future value we need to use the following formula:

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {4,200*[(1.052^2)-1]}/0.052 + 4,200= $12,818.4
