Answer:

$3,602,710.08

Explanation:

The payments per year for 45 years

Each year, payment will be $ 4750

After 45 years, the total amount will be the future value of $4750 every year at 10.17 percent. i.e., annuities of $4750 for 45 years

The formula for the future value of annuities is as follows.

FV = P[ (1 +r )n -1/r]

In this case: p =$4750: n= 45. r = 10.17% or 0.1017

FV =$4,750[(1+0.1017)45-1/0.1017]

=$4750{(1.1017)45-1/0.1017]

=$4750(77.1359/0.1017

=$4750 x 758.465280

=$3,602,710.08
