Answer:

$17,549

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given in the question

Number of years = 10

Invested amount = $1,000 per year

Rate of interest = 12%

So by considering the above information, the accumulated amount is

= Invested amount × future value of an annuity for 12% at 10 years

= $1,000 × 17.549

= $17,549

Refer to the Future value of an annuity table

In order to find out the accumulated amount we simply multiplied the invested amount with the factor
