Simple Interest can be defined as the sum paid back for using the borrowed money, over a fixed period of time. Compound Interest can be defined as when the sum principal amount exceeds the due date for payment along with the rate of interest, for a period of time. Formula. S.I. = (P × T × R) ⁄ 100.

Given that:

Loan= $15,000

The table tells you that Bob's monthly payment on a 4-year loan at 6.5% will be 23.71 per thousand borrowed.

The sum of those 48 payments is ...

=48 × $23.71 =

=$1138.08

That means, Bob pays $138.08 in total finance charge for each $1000 he borrows. He is borrowing 15 times $1000.

so his total finance charge will be

= 15 × $138.08

= $2071.20

Therefore, the total finance charge over the course of his loan is $2071.20.
