Answer:

a. $249,119.02

b. $1,835,982.10

Explanation:

a. The computation is shown below:

= Annuity × {( 1 + interest rate) ^ time period - 1} ÷ interest rate

= $4,500 × {( 1 + 0.097 ^ 20 years - 1} ÷ 0.097

= $4,500 × 55.3597842916

= $249,119.02

b. The computation is shown below:

= Annuity × {( 1 + interest rate) ^ time period - 1} ÷ interest rate

= $4,500 × {( 1 + 0.097 ^ 40 years - 1} ÷ 0.097

= $4,500 × 407.9960231145

= $1,835,982.10
