Answer:

$435.63

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much interest will you owe at the end of the first year

First step is to calculate the Face Value of a lump sum, After the first six months

FV = $5,100 [1 + (.004 / 12)]^6

FV = $5,110.21

Second step is to calculate The Face Value of a lump sum in another six months

FV = $5,110.21[1 + (.161 / 12)]^6

FV = $5,535.63

Now let calculate the Interest

Interest = $5,535.63 − $5,100

Interest = $435.63

Therefore How much interest will you owe at the end of the first year is $435.63
