Value of collection: $52 imes 1952 = 101,344$ Annual appreciation rate: 5.9% Years until retirement: 2060 - current year To calculate the future value of the collection, we can use the formula for compound interest: Future Value = Present Value × (1 + Interest Rate)^Number of Years Let's assume the current year is 2021. Therefore, the years until retirement would be 2060 - 2021 = 39. Future Value = $101,344 imes (1 + 0.059)^{39}$
