Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$6475.56

Explanation:

The maturity value is ...

A = P(1 +rt)

where P is the principal amount, r is the annual rate, and t is the number of years. For ordinary interest, a year is 360 days, so the number of years is 160/360 = 4/9.

The loan value is ...

A = $6200(1 + 0.10×4/9) ≈ $6475.56

Stephen's loan has a maturity value of $6,475.56.
