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 5.25% annual interest rate, what is its value as of 2018 (392 years later)? $12,338,893,300.81 $14,189,727,295.93 O $16,287,339,157.07 $10,488,059,305.69
