Answer:
The amount after 40 years = $3,058,897.36
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
For next year, Sum deposit = $55,000×(1+3%)×9%
= $5,098.5
Accumulated amount = First year payment÷(rate of return - growth rate) × ((1+rate of return)∧no. of years - (1+ growth rate)∧no. of years
= $5098.5 ÷ (10% - 3%) ×((1+10%)^40 - (1 + 3%)^40)
= $3,058,897.36
Hence, The amount after 40 years = $3,058,897.36
