The maturity value can be calculated using the formula:
Maturity Value = Principal + (Principal * Interest Rate * Time)
Where:
Principal = $3,400
Interest Rate = 18% (0.18 as a decimal)
Time = 144 days
Maturity Value = $3,400 + ($3,400 * 0.18 * (144/365))
Maturity Value = $3,400 + ($3,400 * 0.18 * 0.3945)
Maturity Value = $3,400 + $230.96
Maturity Value = $3,630.96
Therefore, the maturity value is $3,630.96.
