Answer:

Joe would be paying $700 in 5 years time.

Step-by-step explanation:

I = Pin

where : I - interest

P - principal

i - the interest rate

n - the number of years

I = Pin, plug in the given data as provided in the problem.

P = $2,000

i = 0.07 per year

n = 5 years

I = ($2,000)(0.07/year)(5 years)

= ($2,000)(0.07)(5)

= $700
