Tamara purchased a building for $114,750. The land appreciates about 2.3% each year. What is the value of the land after 11 years?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

P(1+r)^x same thing, but it's i+r inside the bracket rather than 1-r, because the value is appreciating

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1+r*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm soo confused!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

value of the land after 11 years = \[P(1+r)^x\] with P being your initial value( 114750) r is your rate the value increases each year as a decimal(0.023) x is the number of years (11)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so plug these values in, and you should get your answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

114750((1+0.023)^11)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how can it be 29 031 if the value appreciates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should get 147361.71

ah, you're correct
