Answer:

Total interest = 1239.12

Explanation:

Assume;

Loan amount = P

Annual payment = X

P[1st payment] = X/[1+0475]⁸

P[1st payment] = X/[1.0475]⁸  

P[5th payment] = X/[1+0.0475]⁴

P[5th payment] = X/[1.0475]⁴

P[5th payment] = 699.68

So,

X = 699.68[1.0475]⁴

X = 842.39

P = (842.39/0.0475)(1 – 1/1.0475⁸)

P = 5,500  (Approx)

Total interest = [842.39 x 8] - 5,500

Total interest = 1239.12
