A bank offers a loan for $10,000 which earns 4.25% interest compounded annually. What is the correct formula to determine how much someone would owe the bank if they took out this $10,000 loan for 5 years?


A = 10,000(1 + 5)^4.25


A = 10,000(1 + 0.0425)^5


A = 10,000(1 - 0.0425)^5


A = 10,000(0.0425)(5)
