Will Smith obtained a $2,000 loan to purchase a computer. His interest rate is 7% ordinary interest for 108 days. How much interest does he owe and what is the maturity value of the loan?

Respuesta :

Interest earned
I=prt
I=2000*0.07*(108/360)
I=42

Maturity value
A=42+2000=2042

Answer:

Hence,

Interest he owe= $ 42.

Maturity Value= $ 2042

Step-by-step explanation:

Will Smith obtained a $2,000 loan to purchase a computer.

His interest rate is 7% ordinary interest for 108 days.

So, we will use the simple interest(I) formula to calculate the interest as:

[tex]I=\dfrac{P\times R\times T}{100}[/tex]

Here we have:

P=$ 2,000

R=7

T=108 days=108/360 years.

Hence,

[tex]I=\dfrac{2000\times 7\times \dfrac{108}{360}}{100}\\\\\\I=\dfrac{2000\times 7\times 108}{100\times 360}\\\\\\I=42[/tex]

Hence, the interest he owe= $ 42.

Also maturity value= P+I

                              =2000+42

                             = $ 2042

Hence,

Interest he owe= $ 42.

Maturity Value= $ 2042
