The future value remains constant
The future value increases
The future value becomes negative
#14

It does not account for fees
It may not accurately represent the true cost of borrowing
#16

What is the formula for the future value of an annuity due?

FV = PMT * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r
FV = PMT * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r * (1 + r)
FV = PMT * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r / (1 + r)
FV = PMT * ((1 + r)^n - 1) / r * r
