    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]
