Answer:

He will have $39,750 at the end of five years.

Explanation:

This is a simple interest problem.

The simple interest formula is given by:


E = P*I*t

In which E is the amount of interest earned, P is the principal(the initial amount of money), I is the interest rate(yearly, as a decimal) and t is the time.

After t years, the total amount of money is:


T = E + P

In this question:


P = 30000, I = 0.065, t = 5

Interest earned:


E = P*I*t = 30000*0.065*5 = 9750

Total amount:


T = E + P = 9750 + 30000 = 39750

He will have $39,750 at the end of five years.
