Here we will use the following formula:

FV = PV * (1 + r%)n

where, FV = Future value = $1730, PV = Present value = $1044, r = rate of interest = 12%, n= time period

now, putting theses values in the above equation, we get,

$1730 = $1044 * (1 + 12%)n

$1730 / $1044 = (1 + 0.12)n

1.657088122 = (1.12)n

(1.12)4.46 = (1.12)n

n = 4.46

So, it will take 4.46 years for an amount of $1044 to become $1730.

Now, if we deposit $1044 after 5 years, then it will take:

5 + 4.46 = 9.46 years from today to become $1730.
