It will be worth $2471686

Step-by-step explanation:

Please find the detailed answer as follows:

Nper = 40 (indicates the period)

Rate = 11.6% (indicates the rate of interest)

PMT = 3600 (indicates the amount of payment) (investment to be made by Steve)

PV = 0 (indicates present value if any)

FV = ? (indicates value after 40 Years)

The following calculation will be used:

Value after 40 Years = FV (Rate, Nper, PMT, PV)

= FV (11.60%,40,3600,0) = $24,71,685.70

Therefore, the Answer is $24,71,685.70 or $24,71,686 (rounded off )
