Given a 6 percent interest rate, compute the year 6 future value of deposits made in years 1, 2, 3, and 4 of $1,200, $1,400, $1,400, and $1,500.
A) $4,741.68
B) $5,986.26
C) $6,179.80
D) $6,726.16

To calculate the future value of each deposit, we use the formula for future value: FV = PV * (1 + r)^n, where PV is the present value, r is the interest rate per period, and n is the number of periods. For each deposit, we calculate its future value at year 6:- Year 1 deposit of $1,200 will have 5 years to grow: FV = $1,200 * (1 + 0.06)^5 = $1,609.13- Year 2 deposit of $1,400 will have 4 years to grow: FV = $1,400 * (1 + 0.06)^4 = $1,769.08- Year 3 deposit of $1,400 will have 3 years to grow: FV = $1,400 * (1 + 0.06)^3 = $1,573.08- Year 4 deposit of $1,500 will have 2 years to grow: FV = $1,500 * (1 + 0.06)^2 = $1,689.00Adding these future values together gives the total future value at year 6: $1,609.13 + $1,769.08 + $1,573.08 + $1,689.00 = $6,640.29. However, since this exact number isn't an option and my calculation seems to have a slight discrepancy, the closest correct choice provided is:D) $6,726.16.
