Step-by-step explanation:
Simple interest is paid only on the borrowed amount.
When a person borrows money from bank or any financial institution, he has to pay an interest for borrowing the money. A percentage is being set by the lender and the borrower has to pay that percentage on the amount of money he borrowed on monthly basis to the lender. Loans are usually given to the people by having their precious assets as a collateral and then setting a percentage of interest on the borrowed amount. So when the borrower will finish the repayment of loan, he can withdraw his collateral, otherwise his collateral will be kept by the lender if the borrower fails to payback the loan.
