Answer

$INT=\$ 277.75$ $FV=\$ 10,377.75$

Work Step by Step

The simple interest on an investment (or loan) of $PV$ dollars at an annual interest rate of $r$ for a period of $t$ years is $INT=PVrt$. We are given: PV=$10,100$, t=$0.25$ ( 3 months = $ \frac{3}{12}=\frac{1}{4} $=0.25 year), r=$0.11$ ($11$%). Substitute into the formula: $INT=10100(0.11)(0.25)=$277.75 (dollars) The future value of an investment of $PV$ dollars at an annual simple interest rate of $r$ for a period of $t$ years is $FV=PV(1+rt)=PV+INT$ . Here, $FV=10,100+277.75=\$ 10,377.75$
