Answer:

The total interest paid on this student loan will be equal to:

$

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Amount of loan = $30,000

Interest rate = 4.75%

Duration of loan = 5 years

Total interest = $30,000 * 4.75% * 5 = $7,125

b) Since interest is paid annually at the end of each year, this means that $1,425 will be paid each year for 5 years.  This gives a total of $7,125 ($1,425 * 5).  As a result, we can infer that this is a simple interest payment method, because the interests are not added to the principal.  That is, the interest is not compounded.  So, the calculation is based on the simple interest formula of principal by interest rate by number of periods.
