Explanation:

Calculation for How much will be available when it is ready to buy the equipment, assuming the account pays 5.5 interest

Using this formula

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

Let plug in the formula

First deposit= 17,500*(1.055^4)

First deposit= $19,316.73

Second deposit=21 ,000*(1.055^3)

Second deposit= $24,659.07

Third deposit= 13,000*(1.055^2)=

Third deposit=$14,469.33

Total= $58,445.13

Therefore How much will be available when it is ready to buy the equipment, assuming the account pays 5.5 interest is $58,445.13

since the options are not listed, when you are working on your budget you should also add water, tv, internet, miscellaneous and your 'fun' money for in your budget. when budgeting, you need to allow for fun money, and mis/accidental money so that you stick to the budget and not go crazy because you feel strapped to the budget.

it's obviously d. it could be c though.
