    a) $12,440.43

    b) $8,000.00

    c) $4,440.43

    Step-by-step explanation:

    the question is a bit ambiguous, I calculated from zero initial Deposit to $100 per quarter. If they deposited $100 initially and then $100 quarterly for 20 years then the numbers are as follows.

    a) $12,671.05

    b) $8,100

    c) $4,571.05
