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 Correct Answer 15612.50
We have P = 15 000, r = 0.07 and since the actual date the loan was taken outis 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
