(B) Suppose you still start with a $100 contribution in one year, but then increase it thereafter each year by 7% until you retire in 46 years. What will your account be worth then? (Note: for the growing annuity formula, the growth rate can exceed the discount rate, but not for the perpetuity formula.) Show your work.
