Each investment requires a minimum deposit of $1400.
If the trader deposits the minimum in 14 investments, the 15th one is bound to take the maximum deposit possible.
So for 14 investments with the minimum deposit amount, we have = 1400 * 14 = $19,600
The remaining amount for maximum possible amount to be invested in the 15th investment =
= 23500 - 19600
= $3900

Answer = E
