    Answer and Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    a. The final amount she will have on deposit is

    Future value = Present value * { (1 + interest rate) ^number of years - 1} : interest rate

    = $11,000 * { (1 + 0.05) ^15 - 1} : 0.05

    = $11,000 * 21.57856359

    = $237,364.20

    b. The amount at 4% is

    Future value = Present value * { (1 + interest rate) ^number of years - 1} : interest rate

    = $11,000 * { (1 + 0.04) ^15 - 1} : 0.04

    = $11,000 * 20.02358764

    = $220,259.46

    c. The losing amount in case when she used her brother-in-law's bank is

    = $237,364.20 - $220,259.46

    = $17,104.74

    We simply applied the above formula
