Answer 1

The amount Lily would have to repay Faith four years from now is given as:

$FV=PV (1+\frac{r}{m})^{mn}$

Where;

PV= (10000+6000)-9000= 7000

r= 16.28% or 0.1628

m= 12

n= 4

$\therefore FV=7000(1+\frac{0.1628}{12})^{12×4}$

$FV=13366.24$

The amount Lily would pay Faith four years from now is 13366.24
