Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Calculation for future value of investment :

Future value of $4100 Investment for 5 years = 4100*(1+0.09)^5 = 4100 * 1.538624 = $6308.36

Future value of $5900 Investment for 4 years = 5900*(1+0.09)^4 = 5900 * 1.41158 = $8328.33

Future value of $8100 Investment for 3 years = 8100*(1+0.09)^3 = 8100 * 1.295029 = $10489.73

Hence Total Future value   = $25126.41
