The average price of a compact car in 2018 is $23,456. If inflation on compact cars is 2.69% per
year, how much will a compact car cost in 2023?
We use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period
A=23,456*(1.0269)^5
=23,456*1.14193338
=$26785.19(Approx)
