Answer:
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A 1987 advertisement in the New Yorker solicited offers on a 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7 (Motor Trend's 1967 car of the year) that had been stored undriven in a climate controlled environment for 20 years.
If the original owner paid $4000 for this car in 1967, what price would he have to receive in 1987 to obtain a 10 percent annual return on his investment?
---------
If the 10% is compounded yearly the price is as followed.
A(10) = 4000(1+(0.10/1))^(10*1)
---
A(10) = 4000(1.1)^10
---
A(10) = $10,374.97
