Question
Every month Fritz buys 100 novelty plungers from Eddie at $20 each. He then sells all of the plungers, and at the end of the month deposits all but $2, 000 (to buy the next month’s plungers) in an account earning i^12 = 5%.
 
The first month, he sells the plungers for $40, but because of the competitive novelty plunger market, Fritz must lower his prices by $1.50 every month. After many months, he realizes that his prices are low enough that if he lowered his prices again, he would not make a profit. At the end of that month, he deposits all but $2,000 of his proceeds into the account and gets out of the novelty plunger business. How much is in his account immediately after the final deposit (in dollars)?
