    First look at the value of each of the first ten years of contributions at year 10. The first year's contributions grow at 9% per year for 10 years, so at year ten it's worth 2400*1.09^10. The second year's contribution grows for 9 years, the third year's for 8, etc. So at year ten you have a series of 10 contributions that have grown as follows:

    Year 10 value = 2400 x (1.09^10 + 1.09^9 + 1.09^ 8 +... + 1.09^1).

    Then for the next 30 years no further contribuitions are made, so the amount you had at year 10 is simply compounded at 9%:

    Year 40 value = year 10 value x 1.09^30.

    Post back with what you get for an answer.
