Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for calculating the future value of an annuity which is expressed as

S = R[(1 + i)^n - 1)/i]

where

R is the payment at the end of each period

i is interest rate per period.

n is the number of periods.

S is the future value

Since it is compounded quarterly, that means that payments are made 4 times per year. thus,

i = r/4

n = 4 x time

From the information given,

R = 10000

r = 4.25% = 4.25/100 = 0.0425

i = 0.0425/4 =
