The accumulated amount in the account = $84,989.09

Explanation:

The amount that has been accumulated in the account is the future value of 25,000 invested invested at 6% interest compounded annually.

FV = PV * (1+r) ^n

Future Value (FV) = ?, Present Value (PV) - 25,000, rate (r) - 6%, number of years (n) - 21

FV = 25,000 * (1.06) ^21

FV = $84,989.09

The accumulated amount in the account = $84,989.09
