Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Present value (PV) = $50,000
Rate of interest (r) = 5%
Time period (n) = 20 Years
So, we can calculate future value by using following formula:
Future value = PV × (1 + r)^(n)
= $50000 × ( 1 + 5% )^20
= $50000 × (1 + 0.05)^20
= $132,664.89
Hence, After 20 years land will be worth $132,664.89.
