False. Interest upon interest is compounded interest
The analytical answer is 1130.34 but banks are not likely to round up when it comes to paying you money so I would say 1130.33
The formula to calculate the present amount including compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)nt , where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate expressed as a decimal , t is the number of years, and n is number of times per year that interest is compounded. Then A = 2100(1 + 0.045/12)(12 x 3) = 2100 x 1.0037536 = 2402.92 The amount of interest earned = 2402.92 - 2100 = 302.92
Assuming that 1.5 refers to 1.5% and that the interest is compounded annually, the principal is 893.30

A $5000 investment at an annual simple interest rate of 4.4% earned as much interest after one year as another investment in an account that earned 5.5% annual simple interest. How much was invested at 5.5%?
It means that the interest is paid out every three months (quarter year). That means that the interest paid out after 3 months is earning interest for the remaining nine months. The quarterly interest rate is such that this compounding is taken into account for the "headline" annual rate. As a result, if the quarterly interest is taken out, then the total interest earned in a year will be slightly less than the quoted annual rate.
False. Interest upon interest is compounded interest
It depends on the compounding frequency of the rate of interest earned on your bank account. Some banks compound the interest yearly and some do it quarterly. If the interest is compounded every year you will have 973.44 at the end of 2 years.
In terms of economics, compounded interest means the interest earned from the principal and added interest. In many cases, this method is always used by some internet scammers to lure people to invest.

Interest earned in a bank account is not an investment. It is considered an income. The money that you have in the bank account that earned the interest for you is considered the investment

You should have 5976.51 provided the fractional units of interest earned are also rolled into the capital.
