Answer:

Rodney Cashman's fund is worth $ 465,862.95 after investing for the past 18 years.

Explanation:

Given: Number of periods - 18 years * 4 quarters = 72

Periodic payment - $2,000

Interest Rate - 11.5%

Formula: FV of Annuity= p [(1+ r/m)n-1/ (r/m)]

Where:

P - Periodic Payment

r - interest rate

n - number of periods

m - compounding period

FV of Annuity =$ 465,862.95
