Answer:

$5921

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the future value (FV) of an asset is the same as the formula for compound interest:

FV = PV(1 + r)ⁿ

where  

PV = the present value

  r = the interest rate

 n = number of years

Data:

PV = $4000

  r = 4 %

 n = 10 yr

Calculations:

A = 4000(1+ 0.04)¹⁰

  = 4000 × 1.04¹⁰

  = 4000 × 1.4802

  = $5921

The sculpture will be worth $5921 in ten years.
