Answer

$\$65,230.48$

Work Step by Step

We can compute the future value after 6 years: $\int_{0}^{T}f(t)~e^{r(T-t)}~dt$ $= \int_{0}^{T}8000~e^{0.04t}~e^{r(T-t)}~dt$ $= \int_{0}^{T}8000~e^{rT}~e^{(0.04-r)t}~dt$ $= \frac{1}{0.04-r}\cdot 8000~e^{rT}~e^{(0.04-r)t}~\vert_{0}^{T}$ $= \frac{1}{0.04-r}\cdot 8000~[e^{rT}~e^{(0.04-r)T}- e^{rT}~e^{(0.04-r)(0)}~]$ $= \frac{1}{0.04-r}\cdot 8000~[e^{0.04T}- e^{rT}~]$ $= \frac{1}{0.04-0.062}\cdot 8000~[e^{(0.04)(6)}- e^{(0.062)(6)}~]$ $= -\frac{1}{0.022}\cdot 8000~[e^{0.24}- e^{0.372}~]$ $= \$65,230.48$
