Answer:

Amount of interest in 30 year = $2,250

Account balance after 30 year = $7,250

Explanation:

Given:

Amount deposit P = $5,000

Simple interest rate = 1.5% = 0.015

Find:

Amount of interest in 30 year

Account balance after 30 year

Computation:

Interest = PRT

Amount of interest in 30 year = (5,000)(0.015)(30)

Amount of interest in 30 year = $2,250

Account balance after 30 year = P + I

Account balance after 30 year = $5,000 + $2,250

Account balance after 30 year = $7,250
