Based on the interest rates given to the person who has filed for bankruptcy and the person who hasn't, the additional amount in total interest that the person with bankruptcy will pay is D. $231,693.52.

What would the person who declared bankruptcy pay?

The amount that they pay can be found as:

Loan amount = Amount x ( 1 - ( 1 + rate) ^ -number of periods) / rate

Rate is:                                                            Number of periods:

= 12% / 12                                                        = 30 x 12

= 1% per month                                               = 360 months

The amount paid monthly is:

150,000 = Amount x ( 1 - (1 + 1%) ⁻³⁶⁰) / 1%

150,000 = Amount x 97.218331079

Amount = 150,000 / 97.218331079

= $1,542.92

What would the person who has never declared bankruptcy pay?

They pay a 6% less than the person who has declared bankruptcy so they will pay:

= 12% - 6%

= 6%

Rate is therefore:

= 6% / 12

= 0.5%

Amount paid monthly is:

150,000 = Amount x ( 1 - (1 + 0.5%) ⁻³⁶⁰) / 0.5%

150,000 = Amount x 166.7916143923

Amount = 150,000 / 166.7916143923

= $899.33

What is the difference in interest?

= (Amount paid by person with previous bankruptcy - Person with no history of bankruptcy) x 360 months

= (1,542.92 - 899.33) x 360

= $231,693.52
