Answer:

The value after three years is $137,027.97

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the value of the home after 3 years

Generally, we have the exponential formula as follows;

y = P(1 + r)^t

where P is the original cost which is $124,400

r is the rate of increase which is 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

t is the time which is 3 years

Substituting these values;

y = 125400(1 + 0.03)^3 = $137,027.97
