An investor is presented with a choice of two investments: an established furniture store and a new book store. Each choice requires the same initial investment and each produces a continuous income stream of 4%, compounded continuously. The rate of flow of income from the furniture store is f(t) = 18,000, and the rate of flow of income from the book store is expected to be g(t) = 16,000$e^{0.03t}$. Compare the future values of these investments to determine which is the better choice over the next 5 years.
The future value of the furniture store is $oxed{}$
