Sienna invests $152 431 into an annuity from which she will receive a regular monthly payment of $900 for 25 years. The interest rate for this annuity is 5.1% per annum, compounding monthly.

  1. Let `V` be the balance of the annuity after `n` monthly payments. A recurrence relation written in terms of `V_0 , V_{n + 1}` and `V_n` can model the value of this annuity from month to month.
  2. Showing recursive calculations, determine the value of the annuity after two months.
  3. Round your answer to the nearest cent.   (2 marks)

  4. After two years, the interest rate for this annuity will fail to 4.6%.
  5. To ensure that she will still receive the same number of $900 monthly payments, Sienna will add an extra one-pff amount into the annuity at this time.
  6. Determine the value of this extra amount that Sienna will add.
