3. In 1626, Dutchman Peter Minuit purchased Manhattan Island from a local Native American tribe. Historians estimate that the price he paid for the island was about $24 worth of goods, including beads, trinkets, cloth, kettles, and axe heads. Many people find it laughable that Manhattan Island would be sold for $24, but you need to consider the future value (FV) of that price in more current times. If the $24 purchase price could have been invested at a 4.00% annual interest rate, what is its value as of 2017 (391 years later)?

$93,253,648.69

$109,710,174.93

$126,166,701.17

$144,817,430.91
