After n years, the deposit made at birth will have a value equal to;

FV1 = C(1+r)^n = 1000(1+0.018)^n = 1000(1.018)^n

After n years, the  yearly deposits made at every birthday will have a value equal to;

FV2 = P{(1+r)^n-1}/r = 750{(1+0.018)^n-1}/0.018 = 41666.67 {(1.018)^n-1} = 41666.67 (1.018)^n -41666.67

Total FV = FV1+FV2 = 1000(1.018)^n+41666.67(1.018)^n-41666.67 = 42666.67 (1.018)^n - 41666.67
