1 answer

To calculate the accumulated interest at the end of 10 years, we can use the formula for simple interest:

Simple Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

Where:
Principal = $2,300
Rate = 7.5% or 0.075
Time = 10 years

Plugging in the values, we get:

Simple Interest = $2,300 x 0.075 x 10 = $1725

Therefore, the accumulated interest the investor should expect at the end of 10 years is $1725.
