Step-by-step explanation:
The future value can be computed using the formula for an annuity due. It can also be found using any of a variety of calculators, apps, or spreadsheets.

<h3>formula</h3>The formula for the value of an annuity due with payment P, interest rate r, compounded n times per year for t years is ...
FV = P(1 +r/n)((1 +r/n)^(nt) -1)/(r/n)
FV = 5000(1 +0.06/4)((1 +0.06/4)^(4·3) -1)/(0.06/4) ≈ 66,184.148
FV ≈ 66,184.15
<h3>calculator</h3>The attached calculator screenshot shows the same result. The calculator needs to have the begin/end flag set to "begin" for the annuity due calculation.

<h3>a) </h3>The future value of the annuity due is $66,184.15.
<h3>b)</h3>The total interest earned is the difference between the total of deposits and the future value:
$66,184.15 -(12)(5000) = 6,184.15
A total of $6,184.15 in interest was earned by the annuity.
