Given interest rate is 4% compounded quarterly
F.V=P.V(1+rk)nk
F.V=Future value
P.V= Present value
r=rate of interest
k=number of times compounded per year
n=number of years
steps:
r=4
k=4(since compounded quarterly)
n=3 months=312 years=(14)years
nk=44=1
substitute values in the above equation
P.V=1500(1+(0.044))
=1485.5
Find the equivalent value
r=4
k=4(since compounded quarterly)
n=9 months=912
P.V =$1485.15
F.V=P.V(1+(rk)nk)
F.V=1485.5(1+(0.044)9124
=$1530.15
Option B is correct
