3b Lauren plans to deposit $6000 into a bank account at the beginning of next month and $250/month into the same account at the end of that month and at the end of each subsequent month for the next 5 years. If her bank pays interest at a rate of 5%/year compounded monthly, how much will Lauren have in her account at the end of 5 years? (Assume she makes no withdrawals during the 5-year period. Round your answer to the nearest cent.) $ c The Johnsons have accumulated a nest egg of $40,000 that they intend to use as a down payment toward the purchase of a new house. Because their present gross income has placed them in a relatively high tax bracket, they have decided to invest a minimum of $2300/month in monthly payments (to take advantage of the tax deduction) toward the purchase of their house. However, because of other financial obligations, their monthly payments should not exceed $2600. If the Johnsons decide to secure a 15-year mortgage, what is the price range of houses that they should consider when the local mortgage rate for this type of loan is 5%/year compounded monthly? (Round your answers to the nearest cent.) least expensive $ most expensive $
