Answer:

The mutual fund would be worth $ 44,669.855 ( approx )

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ Future value of an investment,

[tex]A=P(1+r)^t[/tex]

Where,

P = invested amount,

r = rate per period,

t = number of periods,

Here,

P = $ 35,000

r = 5.1% = 0.05,

t = 5 years,

Hence, the future value would be,

[tex]A=35000(1+0.05)^{5}[/tex]

[tex]=35000(1.05)^5[/tex]

[tex]=44669.8546875[/tex]

[tex]\approx \$ 44669.855[/tex]
