Answer 1

Answer:

$48,000

Explanation:

The problem asks for "the amount of interest Winrow must PAY in 2013"

This might sound difficult but it's actually very simple.

Just multiply $6000,000 by the interest rate of 8%

So $600,000 multiplied by 8% is $48,000

That is the amount of cash to be paid for the interest in December 2013
