Transcript text: In order to start a small business, a student takes out a simple interest loan for $\$ 3000$ for 9 months at a rate of $9.25 \%$.
a. How much interest must the student pay?
b. Find the future value of the loan.
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the Interest (I)
To calculate the interest, we use the formula: $I = P \times \left( \frac{T}{12} \right) \times \left( \frac{R}{100} \right)$.
Substituting the given values: $I = 3000 \times \left( \frac{9}{12} \right) \times \left( \frac{9.25}{100} \right) = 208.12$.
Step 2: Calculate the Future Value (FV)
The future value is calculated using the formula: $FV = P + I$.
Substituting the values: $FV = 3000 + 208.12 = 3208.12$.
Final Answer:
The interest on the loan is $208.12, and the future value of the loan after 9 months is $3208.12.
