Solution

Answering question first only as per Chegg's guidelines

1.Calculation of value of investment in 6 year(Future value)

Present value=$2000

N=6

Since interest rate is compounding quarterly,thus we need to calculate effective annual rate as follwo:

EAR=[1+(APR/No.of compounding)]^no.of compounding in a year-1

=[1+(0.0765/4)]^4-1

=0.07872 or 7.872%

Future value=Present value(1+EAR)^N

=$2000(1+0.07872)^6

=$3151.29
