Answer #1

For easier understanding, I am pasting a table which shows the year wise principal and interest:

Year Principal Interest Outstanding amount
1        1,000 17.5                          1,017.5
2 1,017.5 17.81                          1,035.3
3 1035.31 18.12                          1,053.4

Therefore, in the third year, the interest is $ 18.12
