\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\r\n" );
document.write( "Since the problem tells nothing about compounding, I will assume that 13% is simple annual interest rate.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To answer the question, we should add the present values of the two accounts.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Present value of the first  account is  \"5000%2F%281+%2B+%283%2F12%29%2A0.13%29\" = 4842.62 dollars (rounded).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Present value of the second account is  \"6000%2F%281+%2B+%289%2F12%29%2A0.13%29\" = 5466.97 dollars (rounded).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The total to pay today is the sum  4842.62 + 5466.97 = 10309.59 dollars.    ANSWER\r\n" );
