Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Investment= $600 today and $600 at the end of year 5

Interest rate= 3%

To calculate the final value, we need to apply the following formula on each investment:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 600*(1.03^6)= $716.43

FV= 600*(1.03^1)= $618

Total FV= $1,334.43
