How much can be paid in scholarships at the end of each year if $ 150 000 is deposited in a trust fund and interest is 4.5% compounded annually?
I do not know if it is the way it is worded but can not figure out this one. Any help with steps would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

This is just a deposit of $150,000 which earns interest at 4.5% comp. annually. You simply figure out the interest the Fund earns in one year at 4.5% as follows:
$150,000 X 4.5%(or .045)=$6,750. This is the total amount that can be paid out in scholarships every year. That is all there is to it.
