    Larry won't have enough money to buy the car. FV = $16,923

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The car will cost $20,000 at the end of the fifth year and Larry's Christmas bonus is $3,000 a year.

    Interest rate = 10%

    To calculate the future value at the end of tje fifth year we need to use the following formula. The last deposit is made at the end of the fifth year.

    FV = {A*[ (1+i) ^n-1]}/i

    A = annual deposit

    FV = {3,000*[ (1.10^4) - 1]}/0.10 + 3,000 = $16,923

    Larry won't have enough money to buy the car.
