Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Investment= $4,500

Interest rate= 11.45%

For both options, we will use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

a. Number of years= 43

FV= 4,500*(1.1145^43)

FV= $476,053.37

b. Number of years= 33

FV= 4,500*(1.1145^33)

FV= $161,010.77
