Answer:
$2038.85
Step-by-step explanation:

A = P(1 +rt) . . . . . Principal P, rate r, time t (years)
A = $1850(1 + 0.1225·(10/12)) = $2038.85
Ricardo will have paid back $2038.85 at the end of the loan period.

<em>Additional comment</em>
We assume that the loan accrues simple interest and that the amount due is the sum of principal and interest at the end of the loan period.
The question is not specific as to whether interest compounds, or whether intermediate (monthly) payments are made. There are many possible ways the loan could be repaid, generally involving different amounts for the different terms.
