This question requires the solution of two problems. Find the FV of the original $5,000 deposit which equals $7,934.37, then find the FV of the $3,000 deposit 3 years from now which equals $3779.14, and add the two together. On the BAII Plus, press 6 N, 8 I/Y, 5000 PV, 0 PMT, CPT FV. Then press STO 1. Then press 3
N, 3000 PV, CPT FV. Then press + RCL 1 = for the answer. On the HP12C, press 6 n, 8 i, 5000 PV, 0 PMT, FV. Then press STO 1. Then press 3 n, 3000 PV, FV.
Then press RCL 1 + for the answer.
