Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the formula for calculating simple interest, which is I = P × r × t, where I is the interest, P is the principal amount, r is the annual interest rate (expressed as a decimal), and t is the time in years.

Step 2: Identify the values given in the problem: Principal (P) = $678, Annual Interest Rate (r) = 10.5% (convert this to decimal form by dividing by 100, so r = 0.105), and Time (t) = 1 year.

Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula: I = 678 × 0.105 × 1.

Step 4: Perform the multiplication step-by-step: First, multiply the principal (678) by the interest rate (0.105), and then multiply the result by the time (1 year).

Step 5: The result of the calculation will give you the total interest paid at the end of the year. Ensure the units are in dollars ($) since the principal and interest rate are expressed in monetary terms.
