If it is compounded annually,

after 10 yrs, the total sum will becomes

$80000 x (1 + 0.05)^ 10

=$130311.53

That mean interest alone is $50311.53 in 10 years.

To get the same amount for simple interest, that means each year the interest has to be $5031.15.

So $5031.15/$80000 = 6.3% (corrected to 1 dp)
