  • Question
  • A loan of $15 000 is taken out. If the interest rate on the loan is 7%, how much interest is due and what is the amount repaid if the loan is due in seven months


  • Options
  • A. 15612.50
  • B. 14612.50
  • C. 13612.50
  • D. 17612.50

  • Correct Answer
  • 15612.50 

    Explanation

    We have P = 15 000, r = 0.07 and since the actual date the loan was taken out
    is not given, we use t =7/12

    I = Prt=$15 000* 0.07* 7/12 = $612.50

    Amount repaid = Future or accumulated value,

    S = P + I = $15 000 + $612.50 = $15 612.50
