Question 1:
The amount he received
= $15000 x (1 + 7%) + $15000 x (1 + 7%)^2 + $15000 x (1 + 7%)^3 + $15000 x (1 + 7%)^4 + $15000 x (1 + 7%)^5
= $15000 x (1.07 + 1.07^2 + 1.07^3 + 1.07^4 + 1.07^5)
= $15000 x (1.07 + 1.07x1.07 + 1.07x1.07^2 + 1.07x1.07^3 + 1.07x1.07^4)
= $15000 x 1.07 x (1.07^5 - 1) / (1.07 - 1)
= $92299 (to the nearest dollars)

Total interest he got
= $92299 - ($15000 x 5)
= $17299


Question 2:
Amount he still owes after the first payment
= $20000 x (1 + 10%) - 5000
= $17000

Amount he still owes after the second payment
= $17000 x (1 + 10%) - 5000
= $13700

Amount he still owes after the third payment
= $13700 x (1 + 10%) - 5000
= $10070

Amount he still owes after the third payment
= $10070 x (1 + 10%) - 5000
= $6077

Question 1
Total received = $15000 x (1+7%)^5
=21038.28
=21038 (nearest dollar)

total interest = total received - $15000
=21038-15000
=6038

Question 2
Principal x (1+interest rate)^no. of years -
[(1+interest rate)^no. of years - 1]/interest rate x monthly repayment
if interest is paid monthly, the interest rate should be divided by 12
and years should be replaced by no. of months

$20000 x (1+10%)^5 - [(1+10%)^5-1]/10% x 5000
=32210.2-30525.5
=1684.7
