What's the future value of a 7 percent, 5 year ordinary annuity that pays $300.00 each year? If this were an annuity due, what would its future value be?

I am using a financial calculator and is having problems arriving at the correct answer. I tried the examples in the book; however my answer does not match, I cannot set the beginning and ending mode accuratly. Thanks for your help.

FVA due=FVA*(1+r)
FVA=300*((1.07^5-1)/0.07)=1725.22
FVA due=1725.22*1.07=1845.99
