c.$16,112

Explanation:

Since the payment of $3,500 per year is to be paid for 4 years, starting immediately, therefore the future value of annuity will be determined to calculate the amount that you will have after 4 years.

Future value of annuity = (1+i) * R[ ((1+i) ^n-1) / i]

R=Payment to made per year=$3,500

i=interest rate=5.7%

n=number of payments to be made in future=4

Future value of annuity = (1+5.7%) * 3,500[ ((1+5.7%) ^4-1) / 5.7%]

=$16,112

So the answer is c.$16,112
