Answer:

  a) $2400

  b) $8400

Step-by-step explanation:

The simple interest formula can be used to find the amount of interest. The amount collected at the end of the period is the total of principal and interest.

__

a)

The simple interest is given by the formula ...

  I = Prt . . . . . . P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years

For this investment, the interest is ...

  I = $6000·0.08·5 = $2400

The simple interest amounts to $2400.

__

b)

The amount collected at the end of 5 years is the principal plus interest:

  P +I = $6000 +2400 = $8400

The total collected is $8400.
