    Using the formula to calculate simple interest.

    I=P*r*n where I=interest, P=Principle, r=rate and n=number of periods.

    To incorporate the number of periods in months, divide the specified annual rate by the number of months in a year (12). Therefore the calculation will be

    i = ($1000*5.5% * (30/12)) = $137.5.

    The total interest earned is $137.5

    And so the cd balance in the bank is calculated as principle+interest. $1000+$137.5=$1,137.5
