Answer:

  $104.49

Step-by-step explanation:

The future value of the account is given by the formula ...

  FV = P(1 +r)^t

The interest earned is the difference between that future value and the original amount deposited.

  I = FV -P

__

For the given investment, rate, and time, we find the interest to be ...

  I = $650((1 +0.0125)^12 -1) = $650(0.160755) = $104.49

Mr. Vance's account will have earned $104.49 in interest at the end of 12 years.
