Answer:

$1207.96

Step-by-step explanation:

The accumulated value for simple interest is defined by the following formula:

FV=PV(1+it)

we have (where x is the present value or PV)

1200= x(1+.05*3)

Solve for x

1200=1.15x

x=1043.478261

We now need to use the equation for annually compounding interest

[tex]FV=PV(1+i)^t[/tex]

We have

[tex]1043.4782(1+.05)^3\\1207.956522[/tex]

which rounds to

$1207.96
