    If you wait for a year, you will earn $55243.81 more.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Retirement Investment Advisors, Inc., has just offered you an annual interest rate of 6.1 percent until you retire in 45 years.

    Next year would be offered 6.7

    Deposit = $18,500.

    We need to use the future value formula:

    FV = PresentValue * (1+i) ^45

    This year:

    FV = 18500 * (1.061^45) = $265683.14

    Next year:

    FV = 18500 * (1.067^44) = $320926.95

    If you wait for a year, you will earn $55243.81 more.
