Question
The principal \( P \) is borrowed at a simple interest rate \( r \) for a period of time \( t \). Find the loan's future value \( A \), or the total amount due at time \( t \).

Given:
- \( P = \$15,000 \)
- \( r = 5.0\% \)
- \( t = 4 \) years

\[ A = P(1 + rt) \]

\[ A = 15,000(1 + 0.05 \times 4) \]

\[ A = 15,000(1 + 0.20) \]

\[ A = 15,000 \times 1.20 \]

\[ A = 18,000 \]

$18,000 (Round to the nearest cent as needed.)
