Answer:

$400,897.66

Explanation:

Assuming that no further contributions will be made and that interest is compounded annually, the expression that describes the future value of a principal amount 'P', deposited at an annual rate 'r', for a period of 'n' years is:

[tex]FV = P*(1+r)^n[/tex]

For a 45-year $5,500 investment at a rate of 10% per year, the future value is:

[tex]FV = 5,500*(1+0.10)^45\\FV=\$400,897.66[/tex]

The account will be worth $400,897.66 when you retire.
