Interest and Principal

According to the question;

  • Beth borrowed $1,500 from the bank at 8 percent interest.

Hence, the total interest to be paid is;

  • Interest, I = (8/100) × $1500

  • Interest, I = $120

The interest is spread equally over 12 months of the year and hence, the amount to be paid each Month is; $120/12

Monthly interest payment = $10

Hence, at the end of the loan term, Beth's last payment will be;

Last payment = $10 + $1500 = $1510
