Respuesta :

Answer:

$116,546.76  

Explanation:

Loan amount=$1470000

interest expense in 2019=$1470000*9.5%=$139,650  

annual repayment=$382,842

Balance of the loan as the end of 2019=loan amount-annual repayment+interest expense

Balance of the loan as the end of 2019=$1470000-$382,842+$139,650  

balance of the loan as of the end of 2019=$1,226,808  

2020 interest expense=balance as the end of 2019*interest rate

2020 interest expense=$1,226,808 *9.5%

2020 interest expense=$116,546.76
