The problems below are compounded annually
R=$1200 i= 0.075 n=8
Answer in the back of the book: 1st part $13475.82 2nd part $3875.82

R=$17,544 i=0.08 n=6
Answer in the back of the book: 1st part $138,997.66 2nd part $33,733.66

What formula are you using?
Show your work.
Plus your problems are unclear: are they annuity immediate? What's 1st part, 2nd part?

The top two are ordinary annuity problems you have to find the value of by second part answers you have to find the total amount of interest earned subtracting/dividing or etc (you can ignore if you want). The bottom two are annuity due problems. My bad about not being specific enough.

I'm not sure, probably the Future value.

This is what it shows in my book for the those problems in the Opening post:

That's correct. Let's apply it to your 1st question:
"R=1400, 10% per year compounded quarterly for 8 years;
Future Value: $67,410.39 , total interest: $22,610.39"

F = Future value (?)
R = quarterly deposit (1400)
N = Number of quarters (8*4 = 32)
I = Interest per quarter (.10 / 4 = .025)

F = R[(1 + I)^N - 1] / I

F = 1400(1.025^32 - 1) / .025 = 67410.3885...

Total interest = Future value - total deposits
= 67410.3885... - 32*1400 = 22610.3885...

Study and master that...then go apply for job as Financial Analyst
