1500 (1.05) = 1575 - - > after one year

1575 + 1500 = 3075

3075 (1.05) = 3228.75 - - > after two years

3228.75 + 1500 = 4728.75

4728.75 (1.05) = 4965.1875 - - > after three years

4965.1875 + 1500 = 6465.1875

6465.1875 (1.05) = 6788.44688 - - > after four years

6788.44688 + 1500 = 8288.44688

8288.44688 (1.05) = 8702.86922 - - > after five years = $8702.87
