I'm assuming you mean the rate changes to 9 % after 3 years.

Pt = Po(1+r)^n.

r = (10%/4) / 100% = 0.025 = Quarterly % rate exprssed as a decimal.

n = 3 yrs * 4 comp / yr. = 12 Comp. periods.

Pt = $9000(1.025)^12 = $12,104 After 3
years.

r = (9%/2) / 100% = 0.045 = Semi-annual
@ rate expressed as a decimal.

n = 2 Comp./yr * 2 yrs = 4 Comp.periods

Pt = $9000(1.045)^4 = $10.732.67.

Total value = $12,104.00 + 10,732.67 =
$22,836.67.
Correction:

Pt = $12,104(1.045)4 = $14,434.25. =
Total value after 5 years.
Correction:

Accumalated Value = $12,104(1.045)^4
= $14,434.25.

(total value after 5 years
