Future Value = Amount * (1+ monthly rate)^(end period - current period) + Amount * (1+ monthly rate)^(end period - current period) + Amount * (1+ monthly rate)^(end period - current period) .................
Future Value = 1000*(1+0.05/12)^(12*5-12*1) + 1000*(1+0.05/12)^(12*5-12*2) + 1000*(1+0.05/12)^(12*5-12*3)
= 3487.31 Answer
