I did the maths while I was writing tht LaTex so there could easily be mistakes.

I have not checked it.

I have left out M because down the bottom it says M=1

I have not included all of the initial working, but most is here.

After 5 years

$$X=100(1+0.5J)^{10}\qquad(1)$$

After 7 years

$$FV=100(1+0.5J)^{14}$$

After 10.5 years    (3.5 years more)

$$FV=[100(1.05J)^{14}](1+0.5J)^{14}=100(1.05J)^{28}$$

$$\\1.98*100=100(1+0.5J)^{28}\\\\ 1.98=(1+0.5J)^{28}\\\\ (1.98)^{(1/28)}=1+0.5J\\\\ (1.98)^{(1/28)}-1=0.5J\\\\ 2[(1.98)^{(1/28)}]-2=J\\\\ J=2[(1.98)^{(1/28)}]-2 \qquad(2)\\\\ Sub into (1)\\\\$$

$$\\X=100(1+0.5J)^{10}\qquad(1)\\\\ X=100(1+0.5*(2[(1.98)^{(1/28)}]-2)\\\\ X=100(1+(1.98)^{(1/28)}-1)\\\\ X=100(1.98)^{(1/28)}\\\\$$

$${\mathtt{100}}{\mathtt{\,\times\,}}\left({{\mathtt{1.98}}}^{\left({\frac{{\mathtt{1}}}{{\mathtt{28}}}}\right)}\right) = {\mathtt{102.469\: \!634\: \!086\: \!312\: \!44}}$$

X=\$102.47
