Total income will be # 32212254.69# currency.

This is geometric progression series of which first term is

#a=0.03# and common ratio is #r=2# and total terms is #n=30#

Sum is #S_30=(a(r^n-1))/(r-1) = (0.03(2^30-1))/(2-1)# or

#S_30= (0.03(2^30-1))=32212254.69#

Total income will be # 32212254.69# currency. [Ans]
