$45,341.60
$31,379.67
$44,755.20

Answer 1

Answer:

• B. $45341.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

• Initial profit = $37800
• Rate of appreciation = 2.3% per year

The equation for this:

• $P(t) = 37800*(1 + 0.023)^t = 37800*1.023^t$

Find the value of P(8):

• $P(8) = 37800*1.023^8 = 45341.60$

Correct choice is B
