a.
$4,462.40
b.
$1,213.28
c.
$1,713.69
d.
$2,094.80
i did the math and got a. just want confirmation

Amount of loan taken by Gertrude =$ 5,500

Rate of Interest of Loan= 6.8% compounded monthly

Time =10 years= 120 months

Formula for Compound interest

If Gertrude pay the loan in four years

I have rounded the value of to 3 places that's why the value is coming out to be 2117.5 , otherwise it will be near around to 2100.

So, option D: $2094.80 is most appropriate choice if loan is repaid in four years.

Now, if Gertrude will repay the loan in 10 years.

N=12 ×10=120 months

If loan is repaid in ,10 years, total value of loan=$ 6903.60

Then none of the option is true.
