Answer:$720,366.43

Explanation:

So, there is an exponential growth formula you use.

First, write the initial cost which is

60,000

Then write 1+ the percentage of growth rate which is 0.04 percent. Then, right the time as an exponent after certain amount of years.

60,000(1+0.04)^10

60,000(1.04)^10

Plug this in a calculator
