Answer:

FV= $16,660.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of periods= 5*4= 20 quarters

Interest rate= 0.06/4= 0.015

Initital investment= $12,370

To calculate the future value after 5 years, we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 12,370*(1.015^20)

FV= $16,660.60
