The amount of money you would earn more from your second City Bank account at the end of 12 years is $5,780.68

Explanation:

Initial Deposit = $14,000

Rate = 7%

Time = 12 Years

The formula to calculate the amount using simple interest is as follows -

PRT/100

Simple interest = ($14,000*0.07*12)

= $11,760

Total amount after 12 years = $14,000 + $11,760

$25,760

For Second city bank with compound interest, the future value formula will be used:

FV = PV (1 + r) t

where,

PV = $14,000

r = 7%

t = 12 years

FV = FV = $14,000 (1.07) 12

FV = $14,000 * 2.25

FV = $31,530.68

How much more you would earn more from your second City Bank account at the end of 12 years = $31,530.68 - $25,750

= $5,780.68
