Explanation / Answer

We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.

10000=1500(1.06)^5+1500(1.06)^4+1500(1.06)^3+1500(1.06)^2+1500(1.06)^1+x[where x=last payment]

10000=1500[(1.06)^5+(1.06)^4+(1.06)^3+(1.06)^2+(1.06)^1]+x

10000=(1500*5.975318538)+x

Hence x=(10000-8962.977806)

which is equal to

=$1037.02(Approx).
