Answer:

c. $44,289.03

Explanation:

Given that: present value = $25000, rate = 10%, n = 6 years. Then the future value can be determined by:

FV = PV[tex](1+r)^{n}[/tex]

where: FV is the future value, PV is the present value, r is the rate and n is the number of years.

So that:

FV = 25000[tex](1 + 0.1)^{6}[/tex]

    = 25000[tex](1.1)^{6}[/tex]

    = 25000 x 1.771561

    = 44289.025

FV = 44289.03

The price that the landowner would receive today is $44,289.03.
