Answer:
Lynn will receive $63,754 at the end of 8 years.
Explanation:
Future value is the sum of value of principal invested and compounded return received over the investment period.
Using following formula of future value to calculate the required interest rate.
FV = PV x ( 1 + r )^n
PV = Present value = $40,000
n = number of years = 8 years
r = Interest rate = 6%
FV = Future value = ?
FV = $40,000 x ( 1 + 6% )^8 = $63,754

Answer:
$1,565
Explanation:
Interest expense = Interest payment + Amortization expense
also,
Interest payment = 22,000 × 14% × [ 6 ÷ 12 ] [∵ 6 ÷ 12 ; since payment are semiannual ]
Thus,
Interest payment = $1,540
and,
Amortization expense = [22,000 - 21,700 ] ÷ [6 × 2]
= $25
Therefore,
Interest expense = $1,540 + $25
= $1,565
