Answer:

$6725

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Princiapal= $5000

Rate=2.3%

Time= 15years

The function that will model this situation is given as

A=P(1+rt)

The above function is a simple interest function

Substitute our data we can find the amount A

A=5000(1+0.023*15)

A= 5000(1+0.345)

A=5000(1.345)

A=5000*1.345

A=$6725

Hence the value of the investment after 15 years is $6725
