Answer: He will owe $1610.51 .

Explanation:

Given: Loan amount (P)= $1,000

Rate of interest (r) = 10% = 0.10

Number of years (t)= 5 years

n= 1 (will pay once in a year)

Formula:
A= P(1+(r)/(n))^(nt)


A=1000(1+0.10)^5


=1000(1.10)^5\\\\=1000(1.61051)\\\\ =1610.51

Hence, He will owe $1610.51 .
