Answer:

$20.32 or $12.16 depending on the question below!

Explanation:

$320.32

It's a bit ambiguous, the current Principal is $100 plus 2 $ additions of $100 or the current Principal is $0 plaus 2 years of $100 contributions. In this case it's $212.16

Keri deposits $100 in an account every year on the same day. She makes no other deposits-example-1
