Answer:

8845 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

Since exponential growth is given by;

P = a( 1 + r)^t

Where;

P = amount spent after t years

r = exponential growth rate

t = time interval

2004 - 2014 is an interval of 10 years. If 5430 billion was spent in 2004 and the growth rate has been 5% each year, then;

P= 5430 * 10^9(1 + 5/100)^10

P = 8845 * 10^9

P = 8845 billion
