Step 1 :Calculate the total principal amount after 300 days: \( P = 175 \times 300 = 52500 \)
Step 2 :Convert the time to years: \( t = \frac{300}{365} \approx 0.8219 \) years
Step 3 :Use the formula for continuous compounding interest: \( A = Pe^{rt} \)
Step 4 :Calculate the annuity value after 300 days: \( A = 52500 \times e^{0.06 \times 0.8219} \approx 55153.94 \)
Step 5 :Round the annuity value to the nearest dollar: \( \boxed{55154} \)
Step 6 :Calculate the interest earned: \( \text{Interest} = A - P = 55153.94 - 52500 \approx 2653.94 \)
Step 7 :Round the interest earned to the nearest dollar: \( \boxed{2654} \)
