Answer and explanation:

The Body Mass Index (BMI) measures the body fat according to the height and weight of and individual. It is applied both in adult men and women. The Waist and Hips ratio (WHR or W/H) is an indicator that measures health and the potential risk of developing a serious illness.

The opening balance, interest earned and the deposit for each year are then added together to obtain the closing balance for each year.

Since the closing balance for year 9 is $11,242.18, this is therefore the accumulated value of the deposits at the end of 9 years.
