3 years ago, you invested $27,400. In 3 years, you expect to have $66,619. If you expect to earn the same annual return after 3 years from today as the annual rate implied from the past and expected values given in the problem, then how much do you expect to have in 7 years from today?



To find out how much you'll have in 7 years from today, we need to solve this problem in two parts:

1. **Determine the annual return rate (r):**
   We know the initial investment ($P_0$) 3 years ago was $27,400, and the future value ($F_3$) in 3 years from the time of the investment is expected to be $66,619. This implies that the investment grew at a constant annual rate for 3 years. We can use the formula for compound growth to calculate the annual return rate:

   \[
   F = P_0(1 + r)^t
   \]
   where:
   - $ F = 66,619 $ (future value),
   - $ P_0 = 27,400 $ (initial investment),
   - $ t = 3 $ years (time period).

   Plugging these values into the formula:

   \[
   66,619 = 27,400(1 + r)^3
   \]

2. **Calculate the future value after 7 more years:**
   Once we find the annual return rate $r$, we use the same formula to calculate the future value 7 years from today. The future value will be based on the future amount of $66,619 (which is the current amount), and we will calculate it for 7 more years with the same annual rate.

Let me first solve for the annual return rate $r$.The expression for the annual return rate is approximately:

\[
r = \left( \frac{6251860055^{1/3}}{1370} \right) - 1
\]

Let me simplify this value to get the actual return rate.The annual return rate $ r $ is approximately 34.47%.

Now, to find out how much you expect to have in 7 years from today, we will use the future value formula with the current amount ($ F_0 = 66,619 $) and this annual return rate for 7 years.

Let me calculate the future value after 7 years.You can expect to have approximately $529,552.53 in 7 years from today, assuming the same annual return rate of 34.47%.

**Tip:** The earlier you start investing, the more time your money has to compound, increasing future returns.

3 years ago, you invested $27,400. In 3 years, you expect to have $66,619. If you expect to earn the same annual return after 3 years from today as the annual rate implied from the past and expected values given in the problem, then how much do you expect to have in 7 years from today?
