    You will have $1,276 in your account after 5 years.

    Explanation:

    The interest rate information is given for 6 years but the question is only asking the amount after 5 years, so I only make the calculation for that.

    Rate in:

    first year: 4% second year: 4.5% third year: 5% fourth year: 5.5% fifth year: 6%

    Assuming interest in compounded throughout five years, the amount you will have in your account is:

    FV = 1,000 * (1 + 0.04) * (1 + 0.045) * (1 + 0.05) * (1 + 0.055) * (1 + 0.06) = $1,276
