B $12,506.00

C $13,500

D $12,560.00

A $13,250.00

Explanation:

The formula for calculating balance at the end of a period using simple interest is as below.

A = P (1+rt)

A = final amount

P = principal amount which is $12500

r = interest rate 6% or 0.06

t = time which is 1 year

A = $12,500 (1+0.06 x 1)

A = $12500 x1.06 x 1

=$12500 x 1.06

=$13,250
