Answer:

The money after 3 years is $5819.8735

Explanation:

We are given

monthly payment =$75

so, P=75

annuity that earns 48% APR

so, r=48%

Since, it is compounded monthly

so,


i=(48)/(12) =4%

i=0.04


n=12* 3=36

now, we can use annuity formula


FV=P[((1+i)^n-1)/(i) ]

where

FV is future value

now, we can plug values


FV=75[((1+0.04)^(36)-1)/(0.04) ]

we get


FV=5819.8735

The money after 3 years is $5819.8735
