Answer:

$864,388.48

Explanation:

The value of the home t years since 2011 is given by the formula:


V\left(t\right)=200000\left(1.05\right)^t

To find the value of the home in the year 30 years after it was bought, substitute 30 for t in the formula:


\begin{gathered} V\left(30\right)=200,000\left(1.05\right)^(30) \\ \approx\$864,388.48 \end{gathered}

The value of the home is $864,388.48 (correct to the nearest cent).
