Answer:

A new home will cost $227081.72 in seven years.

Explanation:

To calculate the value or price of the new home in seven years, we need to calculate the future value of $132500 increasing at a rate of 8% per year for 7 years. The formula to calculate the future value will be,

Future value = Present value * (1+r)^t

Where,

  • r is the rate which will be used for compounding
  • t is the time in number of years

Future value = 132500 * (1+0.08)^7

Future value = $227081.7156 rounded off to $227081.72
