Alexander was offered a job that paid a salary of $24,000 in its first year. The salary was set to increase by 4% per year every year. If Alexander worked at the job for 5 years, what was the total amount of money earned over the 5 years, to the nearest whole number?

9514 1404 393

  $129,992

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of a geometric series is given by ...

  Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

Here, the first term is 24000, and the growth factor r is 1+4% = 1.04. The sum is then ...

  S5 = 24000·(1.04^5 -1)/(1.04 -1) ≈ 129992

The total earned over 5 years was $129,992.
