this is most easily solved with the use of a financial calculator.

using the TI-BA-II, i input the following:

pv = 0
fv = 0
pmt = -1000
n = 9
r = 3.8%

i then solve for fv to get fv = 10496.47936 ***** fv from first calculation.

pv = -10496.47936
fv= 0
pmt = 0
n = 5
r = 3.8%

i then solve for fv to get fv = 12648.2495 ***** fv from second calculation.

that's how much is in the account 5 years after the initial 9 year investment period is over.

on a year by year basis, this looks like this.

$$$

he contributed 9 * 1000 = 9000.

the interest he earned is 12648.2495 minus 9000 = 3648.2495.
