To offset college expenses, at the beginning of your freshman year you obtain a nonsubsidized student loan for $15,000. Interest on this loan accrues at a rate of 4.11% compounded monthly. However, you do not have to make any payments against either the principal or the interest until after you graduate. Required:
a. Write a function that gives the total amount, F, you will owe on this loan after t years in college. F(t) = ?
b. What is the APR?%
c. What is the APY? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

15000(1.003425)^12t ;

4.11%

4.188%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Loan amount = principal = $15000

Interest rate, r = 4.11% = 0.0411

n = number of times compounded per period, monthly = 12 (number of months in a year)

Total amount, F owed, after t years in college ;

F(t) = P(1 + r/n)^nt

F(t) = 15000(1 + 0.0411/12)^12t

F(t) = 15000(1.003425)^12t

2.) The annual percentage rate is the interest rate without compounding = 4.11%

3.)

The APY

APY = (1 + APR/n)^n - 1

APY = (1 + 0.0411/12)^12 - 1

APY = (1.003425)^12 - 1

APY = 1.04188 - 1

APY = 0.04188

APY = 0.04188 * 100% = 4.188%

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
