Answer:

Scenario 1: If it is $0 in year 2:

Answer = $10,381.25

Scenario 2: If it is $500 in year 2

Answer = $10,881.25

Explanation:

In my opinion, you have skipped the amount for year 2, in my opinion it is $500. I am therefore, posting the answer relevant to both scenarios:

Scenario 1: If it is $0 in year 2

Scenario 2: If it is $500 in year 2

Scenario 1: If it is $0 in year 2:

Investment at the end of year 3 = $4,500×(1+0.0415)^2 + $5,500×(1+0.0415)^0

Investment at the end of year 3 = $10,381.25

Scenario 2: If it is $500 in year 2:

Investment at the end of year 3 = $4,500×(1+0.0415)^2 + $500×(1+0.0415)^1+ $5,500×(1+0.0415)^0

Investment at the end of year 3 = $10,881.25

Key notes:

  • Investment made at end of year 1 will remain invested for 2 years [3-1].
  • Investment made at end of year 2 will remain invested for 1 years [3-2]
  • Investment made at end of year 3 will remain invested for 0 years [3-3]
