    a. $1 (1 +.05) ^16

    Explanation:

    The discounting of an amount today at an interest rate for a specific period of time is given by

    A = P (1 + r) ^n

    where

    A = Future amount

    P = present amount

    r = rate in percent

    n = time

    Therefore, the future value of $1 put into an account that earns 5 percent interest for 16 years

    = $1 (1 + 0.05) ^16

    As P = $1, r = 5% and n = 16. Option a.
