Answer:

FV = 75,038.9 or 75,039

Step-by-step explanation

FV = P * ((1+rate)number of periods-1)/rate

100,000 = P * ((1.04)15-1)/.04

100,000 = P * (1.80094-1)/.04

100,000 = P * 20.0236

P = 4,994

Then, repeat with the no. of periods as 12

FV = 4,994 * (1.0412 -1)/0.04

FV = 75,038.9 or 75,039
