2) RETIREMENT FUNDS: Five and a half years ago, Chris invested $10,000 in a retirement fund that grew at the rate of 10.82%/year compounded quarterly. What is his account worth today?

F=10000*(1+0.1082/4)^(5.5*4)= 17989.33 dollars.

For the third month, F3=100*(1+0.08/12)^2+100*(1+0.08/12)+100
For the nth month, Fn=100+100*(1+0.08/12)+100*(1+0.08/12)^2+...+100*(1+0.08/12)^(n-1)
=100*[(1+0.08/12)^n-1]/(0.08/12)
