Answer

a) $\$11616.77$. b) $\$1616.77$.

Work Step by Step

(a) In the given case, $P=\$2000$ and $r=0.075$ for $t=5\text{ years}$. It is compounded annually, so $n=1$. Thus: $\begin{align} & A=\frac{2000\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{0.075}{1} \right)}^{5}}-1 \right]}{\left( \frac{0.075}{1} \right)} \\ & =\frac{2000\left[ {{\left( 1.075 \right)}^{5}}-1 \right]}{\left( 0.075 \right)} \\ & =\frac{2000\left[ \left( 1.4356 \right)-1 \right]}{\left( 0.075 \right)} \\ & =11616.77 \end{align}$ (b) Here $P=\$2000$ and $r=0.075$ for $t=5\,years$ and it is compounded annually, so $n=1$. Thus: $\begin{align} & A=\frac{2000\left[ {{\left( 1+\frac{0.075}{1} \right)}^{5}}-1 \right]}{\left( \frac{0.075}{1} \right)} \\ & =\frac{2000\left[ {{\left( 1.075 \right)}^{5}}-1 \right]}{\left( 0.075 \right)} \\ & =\frac{2000\left[ \left( 1.4356 \right)-1 \right]}{\left( 0.075 \right)} \\ & =11616.77 \end{align}$ Now we can find the interest as below: $Interest=A-P$ and total deposit = $P\times n\times t$. So; $\begin{align} & Interest=11616.77-2000\times 1\times 5 \\ & =11616.77-10000 \\ & =1616.77 \end{align}$
