Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A because the future value of the $2,000 deposit in year 3 is $2,000 * (1 + 0.1)^9 = $3,399.60, and the future value of the $4,000 deposit at the end of year 5 is $4,000 * (1 + 0.1)^7 = $6,111.17. The total future value is $3,399.60 + $6,111.17 = $12,510.77.
