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
