Answer:

$1,062,222.13

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine What will Ralph have at retirement if the account earns 10 percent compounded annually

Annuity =$2,400

n = 40 years

r = 10%

FVOA=2400*(1+0.1)^40-1/0.1

FVOA=2400∗442.5925557

FVOA=$1,062,222.13

Ralph will have $1,062,223 at retirement
