Respuesta :

Answer:

It will return 1,936,000 dollars

from which 336,000 will be interest

Explanation:

We solve using the future value of a lump sum:

[tex]Principal \: (1+ r)^{time} = Future \: Value[/tex]

Principal 1,600,000.00

time 2.00

rate 0.10000

[tex]1600000 \: (1+ 0.1)^{2} = Amount[/tex]

Amount 1,936,000.00

We calculate interst by the different os the amount borrow and the amount returned:

1,936,000 - 1,600,000 = 336,000
