Data and Calculations:

Periodic receipts = $550 per month

Period of receipts = 10 years

Interest interest = 6% compounded monthly

N (# of periods) = 120 (10 years x 12 months)

I/Y (Interest per year) = 6%

PMT (Periodic Payment) = $550

FV (Future Value) = $0

P/Y (# of periods per year) = 12

C/Y (# of times interest compound per year) = 12
