e. Ben will receive more money at the end of 30 years compared to the money received at the end of 40 years.

Explanation:

Ben will be earning 5% of his investment of $10,000 every year for 40 years.

At the end of every year, the 5% earned will be added to $10,000. It means the principal and interest will increase at the end of every year. After 40 years, Ben will receive a huge amount, as indicated below.

The formula is A= p x ( 1 x r)^n

A = $10,000 x ( 1+0.05)^40

A = $10,000 x (1.05)^40

A= $10,000 x 7.039988

A= 70,399.88

A=$70,400

Ben invest $10,000 but will receive $70,400 after 40 years
