Solution:

Problem: If you invest $8000 per period for the following number of periods, how much would you have?
a.7 years at 9 percent
b.40 years at 11 percent

Future Value of a lump sum amount (PV) can be found by
FV=PV*(1+i)^n
a)i=interest rate=9%
n=number of periods=7
PV=$8000
FV=8000*(1+0.09)^7=$14624.31
b)i=interest rate=11%
n=number of periods=40
PV=$8000
FV=8000*(1+0.40)^7=$84330.80

Now, I am soving this problem assuming that payment of $8000 is made per year.
a)
C=periodic payment=$8000
n=number of periods=7
i=interest rate=9%
Future value of annuity=C*((1+i)^n-1)/i
=8000*((1+9%)^7-1)/9%
=$73603.48
b.40 years at 11 percent
C=periodic payment=$8000
n=number of periods=40
i=interest rate=11%
Future value of annuity=C*((1+i)^n-1)/i
=8000*((1+11%)^40-1)/11%
=$4,654,608.53
