In 1626 the Dutch bought the Island of Manhattan from the natives for beads worth $19.
If the natives had received $19 in cash, instead of the beads, and had invested the money
at 3 % /a compounded annually, what would the investment be worth on the anniversary date
of the investment in the year 2016?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Future value = 19%2A1.03%5E%282016-1626%29 = 19%2A1.03%5E390 = 1928729.11 dollars.
