Question

Find the total amount owed, to the nearest cent, for a simple interest loan with a principal of $2950, an interest rate of 7.4% and a time period of 1.5 years. Show​

Answer 1

Answer:

A = $ 3,283.44

A = P + I where

P (principal) = $ 2,950.00

I (interest) = $ 333.44

Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 + r/n)^nt

Where:

A = Accrued Amount (principal + interest)

P = Principal Amount

I = Interest Amount

R = Annual Nominal Interest Rate in percent

r = Annual Nominal Interest Rate as a decimal

r = R/100

t = Time Involved in years, 0.5 years is calculated as 6 months, etc.

n = number of compounding periods per unit t; at the END of each period
