Answer and Explanation:

a. The computation of the interest earned is given below:

= $1,000 × (1.05)^10 - $1,000

= $628.29

b. Now the interest earned in case of withdrawn is

= $1,000 × 5% × 10

= $500

c. In part a there is a compound interest while on part b there is a simple interest so the both answers should be different

The same would be relevant and considered too
