Explanation / Answer

A.

Simple interest rate = Principle * rate of interest * time

                                 = 900 * 0.05* 5

So at the time of maturity he will receive 900+ 225 = $1125

B.

Simple interest rate = Principle * rate of interest * time

70 = 2500 * r * 1

r = 70/ 2500

  = 0.028 or 2.8%

Interest on the loan is 2.8% per annum

C.

Interest = 106.5 – 100 = 6.5

Simple interest rate = Principle * rate of interest * time

6.5 = 100* r* 1

r = 6.5/100
