Juan Garza invested $20,000 10 years ago at 12 percent, compounded quarterly. How much has he accumulated?

We need to find the Future Value (FV). Since it is quarterly compounding, the rate would be 12/4=3% and the number of periods would be 10X4=40.
Using the FIVF table, since it was a lump sum
FV = PV x FVIF (3%, 40 periods)
FV = $20,000 x 3.262 = $65,240

What is the future value of a 10-year annuity of $4,000 per period where payments come at the beginning of each period? The interest rate is 12 percent.

This is a annuity due problem, since the payments come at the beginning of the peiod. In such a problem, we increase the time period by 1 and get the factor from the FVIFA table. In the factor we reduce by 1.
Here we use 11 periods and 12%. the factor is 20.655. This is reduced by 1=19.555.
FVA = A x FVIFA
n = 11, i = 12% . The factor is 20.655-1 = 19.655
FVA = $4,000 x 19.655 = $78,620
