Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The amount that plant earns per man hour after (t) years it open is           $80 [tex](1.05)^{\textrm t}[/tex] .Step-by-step explanation:Given as :The earning of  manufacturing plant when it opened = $ 80 per man hourThe rate of plant earning per man hour  = 5 %Let The earning of plant after t years = A( t )So, The earning of plant after t years = initial earning × [tex](1+ \dfrac{\textrm rate}{100})^{\textrm Time}[/tex]Or, A(t) = $ 80 × [tex](1+ \dfrac{\textrm 5}{100})^{\textrm t}[/tex]or, A(t) = $ 80 × [tex](1.05)^{\textrm t}[/tex]Hence The amount that plant earns per man hour after (t) years it open is   $80 [tex](1.05)^{\textrm t}[/tex] .
