Answer:
$57,682.68
Explanation:
The computation of the amount  in the fund immediately after the fifth deposit is shown below:
=  Annual deposit × (1 + interest rate)^period + Annual deposit × (1 + interest rate)^period +  Annual deposit × (1 + interest rate)^period + Annual deposit × (1 + interest rate)^period + Annual deposit
= $14,000 × (1 + 0.06)^4 +  $12,000 × (1 + 0.06)^3 +  $10,000 × (1 + 0.06)^2 +  $8,000 × (1 + 0.06)^1 + $6,000
= $17,674.68 + $14,292 + $11,236 Â + $8,480 + $6,000
= $57,682.68
