Eugene began to save for his retirement at age 32, and for 10 years he put $ 275 per month into an ordinary annuity at an annual interest rate of 8% compounded monthly. After the 10 years, Eugene was unable to make the monthly contribution of $ 275, so he moved the money from the annuity into another account that earned 8% interest compounded monthly.
