double apr;
double y;
double n; //number of periods
double v; //annuity value
double profit;

System.out.println("\t\t\tEnter Quarterly Payment Amount:");
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
p = keyboard.nextFloat();

//Get APR
System.out.println("Enter APR:");
apr = keyboard.nextFloat();
r = (apr * .01); //Multiply by hundreths


//Get Contract Length
System.out.println("Enter Contract length.");
y = keyboard.nextFloat();
n = y * 4;


//ECHO
System.out.println("Quarterly Payment:" + p);
System.out.println("APR:" + r);
System.out.println("Contract Length: " + y);

v = p * (Math.pow ( 1 + r , n ) - 1 ) / r ;

System.out.println("Annuity Value:

1. What is your question (What is it doing, not doing, provide your test data to get the above).
2. Paste your code in formatting tags
3. Make sure your program compiles
4. When taking user input, you don't need to use println. print by itself will suffice and allow you to take the input from the same line.
5. Why all the hardcoded tabs in the first print statement?
