Ending balance = amount
Amount = Principal + Interest
Principal = P = $14000
rate = r = 4.8% = 0.048
time = t = 2 years
Using simple interest formula:
[tex]\begin{gathered} I\text{ = PRT} \\ I\text{ = 14000 }\times\text{ 0.048 }\times\text{ 2} \\ I\text{ = }1344 \end{gathered}[/tex]Ending balance:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Amount = \$14000 + \$1344} \\ \text{Amount = }15344\text{ (option A)} \end{gathered}[/tex]
