**a) Monthly Repayment:**
* **Principal:** $35,000
* **Annual Interest Rate:** 6% (0.06)
* **Monthly Interest Rate:** 0.06 / 12 = 0.005
* **Loan Term (months):** 10 years * 12 months/year = 120 months
**Formula for Monthly Repayment (using the present value of an annuity):**
* **Monthly Repayment = (Principal * Monthly Interest Rate) / (1 - (1 + Monthly Interest Rate)^(-Number of Payments))**
* **Monthly Repayment = ($35,000 * 0.005) / (1 - (1 + 0.005)^(-120))**
* **Monthly Repayment ≈ $388.57**
**b) Total Interest Paid:**
* **Total Amount Repaid:** Monthly Repayment * Number of Payments = $388.57 * 120 = $46,628.40
* **Total Interest Paid:** Total Amount Repaid - Principal = $46,628.40 - $35,000 = **$11,628.40**
**Therefore:**
* **Monthly Repayment:** $388.57
* **Total Interest Paid:** $11,628.40
