So how much will you have accumulated at the end of year 10? There’s an Excel
function for calculating this answer which we will discuss later; for the moment we will set this
problem up in Excel and do our calculation the long way, by showing how much we will have at
the end of each year:

For clarity, let’s analyze a specific year: At the end of year 1 (cell E5) you’ve got $106
in the account. This is also the amount in the account at the beginning of year 2 (cell B6). If you
now deposit another $100 and let the whole amount of $206 draw interest during the year, it will
earn $12.36 interest. You will have $218.36 = (106+100)*1.06 at the end of year 2.

Finally, look at rows 13 and 14: At the end of year 9 (cell E13) you have $1,218.08 in
the account; this is also the amount in the account at the beginning of year 10 (cell B14). You
