Answer:

The amount of money due to Beth-Ann at the end of this period​ is $27, 300.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount at the end of a period, when simple interest is being charged is:

Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Interest (I)

Here interest is computed using the formula:

[tex]I=P\times R\times T[/tex]

It is provided that:

P = 24,000

R = 11%

T = 15 months = 1.25 years

Compute the Interest as follows:

[tex]I=P\times R\times T[/tex]

  [tex]=24000\times 0.11\times 1.25\\=3300[/tex]

The interest earned is, I = $3,300.

Compute the amount of money due to Beth-Ann at the end of this period​ as follows:

[tex]A=P+I[/tex]

   [tex]=24000+3300\\=27300[/tex]

Thus, the amount of money due to Beth-Ann at the end of this period​ is $27, 300.
