Answer:

$1,394,509.68

Explanation:

Savings amount = $5200

Period = 36 years

Interest = 9.54 percent

We solve for the future value of the annuity

= $5200[(1+0.0954)³⁶-1/0.0954]

= 5200 x [1.0954³⁶-1/0.0954]

= 5200 x 268.1749

= 1,394,509.681 dollars

Therefore after retirement and at an interest rate of 9.54 percent, you would be earning 1,394,509.681 dollars.

Option b.
