Luana will save $2,493.522

Explanation:

Given:

Luana will deposit $570 every year for 4 years. This is an annuity as same amount is deposited every year.

Rate is 6% or 0.06

We have to compute Luana's savings at the end of 4th year.

Refer future value of annuity factor table at 6%, 4th year. Annuity factor is 4.3746.

Savings = Yearly deposit * Annuity factor

= 570 * 4.3746

= $2,493.522

Therefore, Luana will save $2,493.522 by the end of 4 years.
