    The future amount of the current investment/credit with interest that is compounded annually can be calculated through the equation,

    F = P x (1 + r) ^n

    where F is the future amount, P is the principal, r is the decimal equivalent of the given rate, and n is the number of years.

    Substituting the known values,

    F = ($125,000) x (1 + 0.06) ^3 = $148,877

    The interest is therefore,

    I = $148,877 - $125,000 = $23,877
