We are asked to find the future value using simple interest. Therefore we will use the equation

\n

$S=P(1+rt)$,

\n

where $S$ is the future value, $P$ is the present value, $r$ is the interest rate per annum and $t$ is the time in years.

\n

In our situation we have,

\n

$P=\\$\\var{P}$,

\n

$r=\\var{ipa}\\%=\\var{ipadec}$,

\n

$t=\\var{n}$, 

\n

and therefore

\n

$\\begin{align}S&=\\var{P}\\left(1+\\var{ipadec}\\times\\var{n}\\right)\\\\&=\\$ \\var{Srounded} \\text{        (to the nearest cent)}\\end{align}$
