Here's the Solution to this Question

C0=50 000

a.)Cn=Cn-1*1.05 + 1 000

b.)C1=53 500

C2=57 175

C3=61 033.75

C4=65 085.4375

C5=69 339.7094

C6=73 806.6949

C7=78 497.0296

C2025-2017=C8=83 421.8811  

c.) C=50000

k= 1 + 5/100

d=1000

C1=C*k+d,

C2=C1*k+d=C*k^2+d*k+d =

C*k^2+d*(k+1),

C3=C*k^3+d*(k^2+k+1),

C_4 =C*k^4+d*(k^3+k^2+k+1),

\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} k^i=(k^n-1)/(k-1),

Cn=C*k^n+d*(k^n-1)/(k-1)=50000*1.05^n+1000*(1.05^n-1)/0.05
