Answer:
Interest earned = $420
Explanation:
The total worth of the investment after the the investment period compounded at certain rate is called the Future Value.
Future Value= Principal + compounded interest i.e
FV = P × (1+r)^n
r- rate, FV- future value , n- period
FV = ? , P -1,500, r- 4%, n-7 years
FV = 1,500 ×1.04^(7)
FV = 1973.897669
Interest earned (compound intrest) = FV - Principal amount
= 1973.897669 - 1,500
= $473.89
Without interest earning interest.
The amount of interest earned will be computed on the principal only
Interest earned = $1,500× 4%× 7
= $420
