Answer #1

Quarterly (nominal) interest rate = 8%/4 = 2%

Quarterly deposit = $100 x 3 = $300

Number of quarters = 3 x 4 = 12

Future value = $300 x F/A(2%, 12) x 1.02# = $300 x 13.4121** x 1.02 = $4,104.10

#Since first payment is made at beginning of month, a factor equal to (1 + quarterly interest rate) is multiplied

**From F/A Factor table
