Answer:

FV = PV(1 + r)n

FV = 1,000(1+0.058)3

FV = $1,184

Dollar amount of interest

= $1,184 - $1,000

= $184

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, we need to determine the future value of $1,000 invested on the bond. Then we will deduct the present value from the future value so as to obtain the dollar amount of interest.
