Leslie McCormack is in the spring quarter of her freshman year of college. She and her friends already are planning a trip to Europe after graduation in a little over three years. Leslie would like to contribute to a savings account over the next three years in order to accumulate enough money to take the trip. Assume an interest rate of 4%, compounded quarterly. (FV of $1, PV of $1, FVA of $1, PVA of $1, FVAD of $1 and PVAD of $1) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.) How much will Leslie accumulate in three years by depositing $500 at the beginning of each of the next 12 quarters? (Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)

How much will Leslie accumulate in three years by depositing $500 at the beginning of each of the next 12 quarters? (Round your final answers to nearest whole dollar amount.)
FV = R[ ( 1 + i )n - 1 ] / i
GIVEN THAT,
R = $500
i = 0.04 / 4 = 0.01
n = 4 * 3 = 12
FV = FUTURE VALUE
