Calculate amount original deposit is worth at end of two years as shown below:
           
Future value at end of year 1 17000*(1.15^1)      
Future value at end of year 1 19550        
           
Future value at end of year 2 19550*(1.06^1)      
Future value at end of year 2 20723        
           
Thus, amount of original deposit at end of two years is $20,723
