Answer:

use the formula:
A=P(1+r/100)^n
where
A=future value
P=present value
r=rate of interest
n=time period.

Hence

A=6500(1.075)^19+6500(1.075)^18+6500(1.075)^17+....+6500(1.075)^1+$6500

=$6500[(1.075)^19+(1.075)^18+(1.075)^17+....+(1.075)^1+1]

=$6500*43.30468(Approx)

=$281,480.43(Approx)

=$281480(Approx)
