After 3 years:    PV = 1700.00; i = .0103; n = 36
   FV = 1700.00(1 + .0103)36 = 1700.00(1.4461789) = 2458.45
After 3 years:    PV = 2458.45 - 800.00 = 1658.45; n = 24
After 5 years   FV = 1658.45(1 + .0103)24 = 1658.45(1.2788172) = 2120.85
After 5 years:    PV = 2120.85 - 950.00 = 1170.85; n = 48
   FV = 1170.85(1 + .0103)48 = 1170.85(1.6353735) = 1914.78
