Answer #1

Ans.-(D)

Future value of 500000 after 3 years at interest rate of 12% per year compounded quarterly = 500000(1+0.03)^12 = 712880.44. ( Quarterly interest = 12%/4 = 3% and there are 12 quarters in 3 years)

If 210148 is received at the end of each year it's future value is

210148(1+0.03)^8+210148(1.03)^4+210148 = 712880.62
