Answer:

Given an annual interest rate of 5%, it will take 35.4 years to accumulate $180,000.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Future Value (FV)= $180,000

Present value (PV)= $32,000

Interest rate (i)= 5%

To calculate the number of years (n) to reach the objective, we need to use the following formula:

n= ln(FV/PV) / ln(1+i)  

n= ln(180,000/32,000) / ln(1.05)

n= 35.4

Given an annual interest rate of 5%, it will take 35.4 years to accumulate $180,000.
