Answer

$160

Step-by-step explanation

Simple Interest accrued on an amount invested, P, at a rate of R% and over a period of time, T, is given as

Interest = (PRT/100)

P = Principal = $2000

R = Rate = 2% yearly

T = Time = 4 years

Interest = (PRT/100)

Interest = (2000 × 2 × 4/100)

Interest = $160

Hope this Helps!!!
