$641,547.38

Explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years  

We are to determine the future value of these cash flows. But to determine the future value, we need to determine the present value of the cash flows.

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

Cash flow in year 0 =  $10,000  

Cash flow in year 1 =  $15,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 0

Cash flow in year 3 = 0

Cash flow in year 4 = $25,000

I = 9.6

PV = 41,012.11

FV : 41,012.11(1.096)^30 = $641,547.38
