It's a homework problem on a web-based program that tells you whether or not you are right.

I hate those things! Assuming your formula is correct, your answer is completely correct. Perhaps the web based program is expecting the answer as "$369,920" and is counting it wrong because of either the missing "$" or the missing ",".

They could also be expecting an answer rounded to the nearest $0.01, not the nearest $1.
