Answer #1

Amount invested = $100,000
Interest rate = 2.50%
Period = 10 years

Future value = Amount invested * (1 + Interest rate)^Period
Future value = $100,000 * 1.0250^10
Future value = $100,000 * 1.28008
Future value = $128,008

Interest earned = Future value - Amount invested
Interest earned = $128,008 - $100,000.00
Interest earned = $28,008
