It works as if the first deposit of 2000 accumulates money through compounding during 1 + 12*5 = 61 months from Dec.1 2014 to Jan,1 2020;


               the second deposit of 2000 accumulates money  through compounding during 6 + 12*3 = 42 months from Dec.1 2014 to Jan,1 2020;


               the third deposit of of 2000 accumulates money  through compounding during 1 + 12 = 13 months from Dec.1 2018 to Jan,1 2020.


So, the formula is


    Final value = 2000%2A%281%2B0.03%2F12%29%5E61 + 2000%2A%281%2B0.03%2F12%29%5E42 + 2000%2A%281%2B0.03%2F12%29%5E13 = 6616.16 monetary units.    ANSWER
