Answer:

$12,000

Explanation:

To solve, use the PRT formula to find the interest rate.

Notes: Base formula, written as I = Prt or I = P × r × t where rate r and time t should be in the same time units such as months or years. Time conversions that are based on day count of 365 days/year have 30.4167 days/month and 91.2501 days/quarter.
