    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    You have just made a $1,500 contribution to your retirement account. Assume you earn a rate of return of 8.7 percent and make no additional contributions.

    To find the final value we need to use the following formula:

    FV = PV * (1+i) ^n

    A) n = 25

    FV = 1500 * (1.087^25) = 12073.41

    B) n = 20

    FV = 1500 * (1.087^20) = $7955.77
