Find the simple interest on a $1200 investment made for 2 years at an interest rate of 8%/year. What is the accumulated amount? (Round your answers to the nearest cent.)
---
A(t) = P(1+rt)
----------
A(2) = 1200(1 + 0.08*2)
---
A(2) = 1200 + 2400*0.08
---
A(2) = 1200 + 192

----------------------------
simple interest $192
accumulated amount $1392
