Answer:
Zach will pay $4,725 in interest on the loan.
Explanation:
In calculating interest the formula that applies is
I= P x R x T
where I = interest
P = principal amount
R = interest rate
T= time
In the case of Zach
I= $18,900 x 5/100 x 5
I = $18,900 x 0.05 x 5
I =$945 x 5
I =$4,725
Interest for the loan is $4,725
Answer: Zach will pay $2,500 in interest on this loan
Explanation: First, we must calculate Zach's monthly payment.
P=18900⋅ (0.05/12)
________________. = 356.67
1- ( 1 + 0.05/12) ^-60
If the monthly payments are $356.67, then the yearly payback is 356.67⋅12=$4280.04.
And, he will pay that each year for 5 years. So, 4280.04⋅5=$21,400.20 is the total payback amount.
Therefore, Zach will pay 21,400.20−18,900=$2500.20 in interest over the life of the loan.
