1. $57.72 million
2.$37.27 million
3.$19.23 million
4.$21.12 million

Answer:

US$37.27 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there, In this function which should be better rewritten as

[tex]T(x)=12(1.12)^{x}[/tex]

We can see that it projects sales growth per year of 12%.

So let's plug in the values for this function estimating the sales 10 years later growing 12% per year, i.e. in 2005.

[tex]T(10)=12(1.12)^{10}\\ T(10)=37.270185\\[/tex]

T(10)≈US$37.27 million

So that's the estimation for the sales in 2005.
