Answer:

FV= $79,996.75

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Initial investment (PV)= $58,800

Interest rate (i)= 8% compounded annually

Number of periods (n)= 4 years

To calculate the future value (FV), we need to use the following formula:

FV= PV*(1+i)^n

FV= 58,800*(1.08^4)

FV= $79,996.75
