Expert Solution
Step 1

Let principle amount be $1000 on which interest is calculated.

Also let time period be 1 year.

Now, we have 

P=$1000 and time T=1 year.

Case 1.

Calculating simple interest for r=6%

S.I=P×R×T100=1000×6×1100=60

We get the interest is $60 

For the time period 2 years.

S.I=P×R×T100=1000×6×2100=120

The interest is $120
