Simple interest formula (not compound interest formula) is used here, as much as i know.

the formula is:

f = p * (1 + r * n).

f is the future value

p is the present value

r is the interest rate per time period

n is the number of time periods

Given


\begin{gathered} P=27000 \\ r=1.5\%=(1.5)/(100)=0.015 \\ n=3years \end{gathered}

Therefore, we have


f=27000(1+0.015*3)=\text{ \$}28215

Hence, the answer is


\begin{equation*} \text{\$}28215 \end{equation*}
