A loan for $4,000 is given at a 6% interest rate for 2 years. Find the simple interest owed on the loan.

A = $4,480.00

I = A - P

Equation: A = P(1 + rt)

Calculation:
First, converting R percent to r a decimal
r = R/100 = 6%/100 = 0.06 per year.

Solving the equation:
A = 4000(1 + (0.06 x 2)) = 4480
A = $4,480.00

The total amount accrued, principal plus interest, from simple interest on a principal of $4,480.00 at a rate of 6% per year for 2 years is $4,480.00
