    Total final value = $615,872.5

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The fine calls for annual payments of $100,000, $250,000, and $250,000, respectively over the next three years. The first payment is due one year from today. The government will earn 3.5 percent on the funds held.

    To calculate the final value we need to use the following formula on each pay:

    FV = PV * (1+i) ^n

    If the amount required is 3 years from now, the last payment will not generate interest because time won't pass.

    Year 1 = 100,000*1.035^2 = 107,122.5

    Year 2 = 250,000*1.035 = 258,750

    Year 3 = 250,000

    Total = $615,872.5
