How much can you expect to earn in your fourth year on the job, if you are offered a job that pays $45,000 during the first year, with an annual increase of 7% per year beginning in the second year?
To calculate the salary in the fourth year, we need to find the salary for each year:
Calculation of Expected Salary in Fourth Year
Year 1: $45,000
Year 2: $45,000 x 1.07 = $48,150
Year 3: $48,150 x 1.07 = $51,581.50
Year 4: $51,581.50 x 1.07 = $55,304.10
Therefore, the expected salary in the fourth year is $55,304.10 rounded to the nearest dollar, which is $55,304.
Year 2: $45,000 x 1.07 = $48,150

Year 4: $51,581.50 x 1.07 = $55,304.10
Therefore, the expected salary in the fourth year is $55,304.10 rounded to the nearest dollar, which is $55,304.
