3. $4881.56

4. $4885.61

but im not getting one of those answers...please help..

Answer:
I get 1. $5389.40

Perhaps you should do 1.0125^24 first, and then multiply the result by the 4000.

Remember order of operations, you need to bring 1.0125 to the 24th power before multiplying.

4000(1.34735)
5389.40
