Future Value = $4,189.30

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Investment = $700 annual

Interest rate = 9%

Frances decides that she will continue to do this for the next 5 years.

To calculate the final value, we need to use the following formula:

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

A = annual deposit

FV = {700*[ (1.09^5) - 1]} / 0.09

FV = $4,189.30
