Answer 1

d

Explanation:

FV = P (1 + r/m)^mn

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

m = number of compounding

a. 6000x (1 + 0.04/12)^24 = 6498.86

b. . 6000x (1 + 0.03/12)^36 =6564.31

c. . 6000x (1 + 0.01/12)^48 = 6244.76

d. . 6000x (1 + 0.05/12)^60 =6630.47
