Future value of total improvement cost = $1,788,552.44

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Regular deposit amount = $250,000

No. of period = 5 years

Interest rate = 18%

Future value = Regular deposit amount * [ ((1+interest rate per period) ^no. of period - 1) : interest rate per period]

Face value = $250,000*[ ((1+0.18) ^5-1) : 0.18]

= $250,000*7.154

= $1,788,552.44

Future value of total improvement cost = $1,788,552.44
