Understanding the problem:

 Principal amount (P) = R1 500
 Interest rate (R) = 6.57% per year
 Time (T) = 16 months

Formula for Simple Interest:

 Simple Interest (SI) = (P * R * T) / 100

Calculations:

1. Convert months to years: 16 months = 16/12 = 4/3 years
2. Calculate Simple Interest: SI = (1500 * 6.57 * 4/3) / 100 = R131.40
3. Calculate the balance: Balance = Principal + Simple Interest = 1500 + 131.40 = R1631.40

Answer:

 The balance in the account 16 months later is R1 631.40.

Therefore, the correct option is c. R1 631.40.

, To find what amount of time it will require for a speculation to become
multiple times its unique worth with accumulate interest, we utilize the
self multiplying dividends recipe:

A=P(1+rn)ntA = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}A=P(1+nr)nt

Where:

• AAA is the last sum

• PPP is the head (beginning sum)

• rrr is the yearly loan cost (as a decimal)

• nnn is the times the interest is accumulated each year

• ttt is the quantity of years

Given:

• A=4PA = 4PA=4P (in light of the fact that the sum becomes
multiple times the head)

• r=12%=0.12r = 12\% = 0.12r=12%=0.12

• n=12n = 12n=12 (intensified month to month)

We really want to find ttt.

Substitute the qualities into the recipe:

4P=P(1+0.1212)12t4P = P\left(1 + \frac{0.12}{12}\
right)^{12t}4P=P(1+120.12)12t

Partition the two sides by PPP:

4=(1+0.1212)12t4 = \left(1 + \frac{0.12}{12}\right)^{12t}4=(1+120.12)12t

Compute 1+0.12121 + \frac{0.12}{12}1+120.12:

4=(1+0.01)12t4 = \left(1 + 0.01\right)^{12t}4=(1+0.01)12t
