Hi
Compound Interest:
A = Accumulated Amount
P= principal = 
r= annual rate = .
n= periods per year = 
t= years =
A = {{{ P(1+r/n)^(nt)}}}  
A(1year) = 15000(1.045)^1 = 15675.00  (I = 675)
A(2years) = 15000(1.045)^2 = 16380.38  I = 1350 - 675 = 705.38 (2nd year)
Simple Interest:
I = P*r*t
15000(.045)(1) = $675
15000(.045)(2) =  1350 - 675 = $675 second year

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
