Answer:

$19,144.22

$19,201.27

$19,230.56

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r) n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

Bank A = 15,000(1.05)^5 = $19,144.22

Bank B = 15,000(1.05/2)^10 = $19,201.27

Bank C = 15,000(1.05/4)^20 = $19,230.56
