A new car cost $15,000 to build in 2010. The company’s financial analysts expect costs to rise by 6% per year . The cost to build the car can be modeled by the function f (t) = 15,000 (1.06)^t , where t is the number of years after 2010. How much will it cost the company to build the car in 2017?

• $22,554.45

• $19,678.32

• $23,907.72

• 45,678.91

Answer explanation

t is the number of years after 2010. So, t=2017-2010

=7. So, the exponent is 7.

1.06⁷ = 1.06^7 . Multiply by 15000.
