I assume the question is just asking how much $10,000 will be worth if it earns 6% each year for three years. Because of compounding, we'll earn more than 3*6% = 18% overall, which only leaves D and E. Since we're multiplying the $10,000 investment by 1.06 three times, the exact answer will be 10,000*(1.06^3). That clearly will need to end in 6 (because 1.06^3 = 106^3/100^3, and 106^3 will end in 6) so D is the only possible answer.

Wow. I got to \(10,000*(1.06^3)\) and then was like, "Man, now do I really have to calculate this stuff for the answer". It didn't click me that as per the multiplicity rule of 6, the last digit is always going to be a 6 ! The way you incorporate all the concepts into one is just brilliant. Will try to incorporate that and broaden the usage of different concepts in different cases.
