Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Money market yield is calculated by taking the holding period yield and multiplying it by a 360-day bank year divided by days to maturity.

Detailed explanation-2: -You can calculate the simple interest you’ll earn in a savings account by multiplying the account balance by the interest rate by the time period the money is in the account. Note that the interest in a savings account is money you earn, not money you pay. Here’s the simple interest formula: Interest = P x R x T.

Detailed explanation-3: -AI Recommended Answer: interest rate of 1% per annum, it will triple in size every three years.

Detailed explanation-4: -The one-time interest rate is 1.5%. But before you can use the rate of 1.5% you must convert it to a decimal. To change percent to a decimal, divide by 100: 1.5% ÷ 100 = 0.015.
