Answer:

$41,162.71

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula to find out the future value of an amount:

FV = PV [tex](1+ r)^{n[/tex] when:

- PV is the present value

- r : interest rate or inflation rate

- n is the duration

So that, we substitute PV = $39,500, inflation rate = 3% and duration = 3 into the above fomula, we have:

FV = 39,500x[tex](1+ 0.03)^{3}[/tex] = 41,162.71  is the amount  Kaplans need for their living expenses three years from now

Hope this answer will find you well
