A town's population was 45,000 in 2010 and 58,500 in 2015. Each year the natural increase (births - deaths) adds 2 % of the population, while net migration is a constant unknown number \(M\) of persons per year. Assuming the population follows \(P_{t+1}=P_t+0.02P_t+M\), determine the annual net migration \(M\) (rounded to the nearest person) and use it to project the population in 2020.
