    Answer: Difference = $185,948.5 - $147,285. = $38,663.5

    Explanation:

    To calculate the future value, you have to use the formula

    fv = PA (1 + r/100) ⁿ

    where

    FV = future value

    PA = Present Amount

    r = rate

    n = number of years

    calculating for the future value if you earn a percent of 7.5 =

    fv = 5,000 (1 + 0.075) ⁵⁰

    fv = 5,000 (1.075) ⁵⁰

    fv = 5,000 (37.1897)

    fv = 185,948.5

    calculating the Fv when the rate is 7%

    fv = 5,000 (1 + 0.070) ⁵⁰

    fv = 5,000 (1.070) ⁵⁰

    fv = 5,000 (29.4570)

    fv = 147,285

    Then find the difference between the Fv when the rate is 7.5 and when the rate is 7

    Therefore difference = $185,948.5 - $147,285. = $38,663.5
