A rotary engine is the essence of a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) personal aircraft known as the Moller Skycar M400. It is a flying car known as a personal air vehicle (PAV) and it is expected to make its first untethered flight in 2020. The PAV has been under development for 30 years at a total cost of $100 million. Assuming the $100 million was spent in an equal amount each year, determine the future worth at the end of the 30-year period at an interest rate of 10% per year.
What will be an ideal response?
F = 100,000,000/30(F/A,10%,30)
= 3,333,333(164.4940)
= $548,313,333
