Answer:
Alan will withdraw $74,407.
Explanation:
Use future value formula to calculate the amount of to be withdraw after 8 years.
FV = PV x ( 1 + r )^n
PV = Invested amount = $40,200
r = rate of interest = 8% = 0.08
n = number of years = 8 years
FV = $40,200 x ( 1 + 0.08 )^8
FV = $40,200 x ( 1.08 )^8
FV = $74,407.39
The amount Alan would withdraw assuming the investment earns simple interest is $74,407.
