Answer:

A $13,250.00

Explanation:

The formula for calculating balance at the end of a period using simple interest is as below.

A = P(1+rt)

A =  final amount

 P=  principal amount which is $12500

 r=  interest rate 6% or 0.06

t =  time which is 1 year

A = $12,500(1+0.06 x 1)

A = $12500 x1.06 x 1

=$12500 x 1.06

=$13,250
