An amount of $38,000 is borrowed for 6 years at 8.75% Interest, compounded annually. If the loan is paid in full at the end of that period, how much must bepaid back?

Respuesta :

From the compound interes formula, given by

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{n\cdot t}[/tex]

where A is the future amount, P is the principal value, r is the rate, n is the number of times interest per unit of time t, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=38000(1+\frac{0.0875}{1})^{1\cdot6} \\ A=38000(1+0.0875)^6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

which gives

[tex]\begin{gathered} A=38000(1.0875)^6 \\ A=62857.8019 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then, since the loan is paid in full at the end of the year, we must paid back: $62,857.80
