Answer:

3,063.08

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much will you be able to withdraw at the end of 5 years, we have to calculate the present value of the amount paid.

The formula for calculating future value :

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

$2,400 (1 + 0.05)^5 = 3,063.08

I hope my answer helps you
