Answer:
Total FV= $46,008.31
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Deposit 1= $12,000
Deposit 2= $15,000
Deposit 3= $10,000
Interest rate= 0.055
<u>To calculate the future value, we need to use the following formula on each deposit:</u>
FV= PV*(1+i)^n
FV1= 12,000*(1.055^5)= 15,683.53
FV2= 15,000*(1.055^4)= 18,582.37
FV3= 10,000*(1.055^3)= 11,742.41
Total FV= $46,008.31
