a. Write a function that gives the total amount, F, you will owe on this loan after t years in college. F(t) = ?
b. What is the APR?%
c. What is the APY? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

15000(1.003425)^12t ;

4.11%

4.188%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Loan amount = principal = $15000

Interest rate, r = 4.11% = 0.0411

n = number of times compounded per period, monthly = 12 (number of months in a year)

Total amount, F owed, after t years in college ;

F(t) = P(1 + r/n)^nt

F(t) = 15000(1 + 0.0411/12)^12t

F(t) = 15000(1.003425)^12t

2.) The annual percentage rate is the interest rate without compounding = 4.11%

3.)

The APY

APY = (1 + APR/n)^n - 1

APY = (1 + 0.0411/12)^12 - 1

APY = (1.003425)^12 - 1

APY = 1.04188 - 1

APY = 0.04188

APY = 0.04188 * 100% = 4.188%
