Answer 1

Answer:

$4,500

Explanation:

First, calculate the total Installment

Total Installment payment = Annual Installment x Numbers of annual

Where

Annual Installment = $10,500 per year

Numbers of annual = 5 years

Installment payment = $10,500 per year x 5 years

Installment payment = $52,500

Now use the following formula to calculate the Interest payent

Interest payment = Installment Payment - Fair value of contract

Where

Installment Payment = $52,500

Fair value of contract = $48,000

Placing values in the formula

Interest payment = $52,500 - $48,000

Interest payment = $4,500
