A general formula for a simple interest account earning r percents per year is


    FV = A*(1 + r*t)


where A is the original deposit, FV is the future value, r is the annual rate expressed as a decimal, t is the time (in years).


In our case,  A = 5600 euro; r = 0.09; t = 6 years.


The future value of the account after 6 years is 


    5600 + 0.09*5600*6 = 8624 euro.      ANSWER

Solved.
