Answer:

A. compounded value of the interest payments.

Step-by-step explanation:

let's assume you take out a loan of $50,000 at an interest rate of 5% annually for 2 years, the future value of the loan :

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value

P = Present value

R = interest rate

N = number of years

$50,000(1.05)^2 = $55,125

We can see that the future value of the loan was determined by (1 + r)^n which is the compounded value of interest payments
