Answer:

a. $0.83

Explanation:

Calculation for the interest for the next payment

Using this formula

Next payment Interest=Previous balance*Simple interest loan percentage/Numbers of months

Let plug in the formula

Next payment Interest=$200*0.05/12

Next payment Interest=0.83

Therefore the interest for the next payment will be 0.83
