This is "Ordinary annuity saving plan". On how it works see the lesson Ordinary Annuity saving plans and geometric progressions in this site.

This ordinary annuity saving plan works in such a way that the first deposit earns interest at the monthly rate
of % = % for 59 = 60-1 months. For the last month of the period of 60 months the interest is not credited.
The second deposit earns interest for 58 months, the third deposit earns interest for 57 months, and so on.
The 59-th deposit earns interest for 1 month, and the last, 60-th deposit is not credited, so it contributes to the
final balance without interest.

So, Jason's balance at the end of the 5-th year is

Total = 100* = 6977.00.

Answer. Jason's balance at the end of the 5-th year is $6977.00.
