Answer: $115,012,850.8

Explanation:

given data:

cash out amount in 1993 = $163,882,660

no of years = 7

inflation adjustment carried out on the amount would yield $163,882,660. in 1993 is equal to $115,012,850.8 1987.

This is because the Annual inflation grew over this period at a pace 4.26%.

= 4.26/100 * $163,882,660

= 0.0426 * $163,882,660 * 7

= $48,869,809.21

$163882660 – $48,869,809.21

= $$115,012,850.8
