Answer:

$30,185.144

Explanation:

Deposit = $4,500

Annual Interest rate = 7.2%

Amount after 45 year = Deposit x ( 1 + interest rate )^45

Amount after 45 year = $4,500 x ( 1+ 7.2% )^45

Amount after 45 year = $4,500 x ( 1+ 0.072 )^45

Amount after 45 year = $4,500 x ( 1.072 )^45

Amount after 45 year = $102,796 .388

Amount after 40 year = Deposit x ( 1 + interest rate )^40

Amount after 40 year = $4,500 x ( 1+ 7.2% )^40

Amount after 40 year = $4,500 x ( 1+ 0.072 )^40

Amount after 40 year = $4,500 x ( 1.072 )^40

Amount after 40 year = $72,611 .252

Additional Interest = Amount after 45 year - Amount after 40 year

Additional Interest = $102,796.388 - 72,611.252

Additional Interest = $30,185.136
