Answer:

the last part of the question is missing:

Assume that you can earn 9% a year on your savings.

you need to determine the future value of an ordinary annuity:

future value = annual contribution x FV annuity factor

  • annual contribution = $2,000
  • FV annuity factor, 9%, 40 periods = 337.882

future value = $2,000 x 337.882 = $675,764
