Now that depends on whether it is "10% per quarter" or "10% per annum"!

If "10% per quarter", then Joe is right; but the question setter might be expecting you to use "10% per annum, compounded quarterly", in which case the correct answer is:

C) $134.49

I can't see where Joe got his answer here; the correct answer is, of course, :-

A) $3,604,78
