Answer:

$1326.60

Explanation:

We can solve by using the compound interest formula

a=p(1+r/n)^(nt)

Let a be the final amount

let r be the interest rate

let n be the number of times per period

let t be the number of periods

let p be our starting amount

We plug in our information

a=5000(1+0.04/1)^6

We solve for a and get

$6326.60, rounding to the nearest cent

Since we are to find the interest, we subtract the new amount from our original amount

6326.60-5000=1326.60

Therefore, the interest was $1326.60
