d. Confirm that your final answer is correct by going to Appendix A (future value of $1), and looking up the future value for n = 3, and i = 12 percent. Multiply this tabular value by $3,000 and compare your answer to the answer in part c. There may be a slight difference due to rounding. (Enter the answer computed using the Appendix table factor.)
