Simple interest is found by
I = Prt
We will add the two investments.
I = 500(.06)(2) + 500(.06)(1) = 90
Thus you will have
$1090 in your account after the two years.

You start the 2nd year with $530 + 500, or $1,030
$1,030 + $1,030 @ 6% for 1 year = highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C1%2C+%22%241%2C091.80%22%29%29
