Annual rate = 1.05% 
Simple interest formula is I = Prt * 100
Where P is principle, I is interest, r is rate and t is time. 
Transpose to make r the subject 
Prt * 100 = I 
r = I/ Pt * 100
Substitute values into the equation. 
Let I = $1260, P = $30,000 and t = 4 years 
r = $1260/ $30,000 * 4  * 100
r = 0.0105 * 100
r = 1.05%
