Answer: $54.38

Explanation:

The amount of stock purchased was $100. This stock depreciates by 3% annually which means that it loses 3% of its value every year.

To find the value in 20 years, you can use the compound interest formula:

= Initial value * ( 1 - rate) ^ no. of years

= 100 * ( 1 - 3%)²⁰

= $54.38
