Answer:

$1,010,668

Explanation:

if you choose not to attend college, you should be working for 65 - 18 = 47 years

your expected annual salary is $40,000

the present value of your future earnings = $40,000 x PV annuity factor

PV annuity factor = = [1 - 1/(1 + i)ⁿ] / i = [1 - 1/(1 + 0.03)⁴⁸] / 0.03 = 25.2667

present value of future earnings = $40,000 x 25.2667 = $1,010,668
