Solution
Solution Steps
To solve this problem, we need to use the formula for compound interest to find the future value (FV) of the loan and then calculate the compound interest. The formula for compound interest is:
\[ FV = PV \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \]
Where:
\( PV \) is the present value (initial amount) which is $9700.
\( r \) is the annual interest rate (as a decimal), which is \( 3.5\% = 0.035 \).
\( n \) is the number of times the interest is compounded per year, which is 4 (quarterly).
\( t \) is the number of years, which is 6.
Once we have the future value, the compound interest can be found by subtracting the present value from the future value.
