Annuity = 242.4

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a compound interest problem.

The total amount at the end of 25 years will be

A = p (1+r/n) ^ (nt)

A = 150 (1 + (0.04 / (25*12))) ^ ((25*12) (25))

A = 150 (1 + 0.04/300) ^ (300*12)

A = 150 (1 + 0.0001333) ^ 3600

A = 150 (1.0001333) ^ 3600

A = 1500 (1.615828808)

A = 242.374

A = 242.4 to the nearest cent
