Thank you very much for assisting Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Now ought to be 500, but sometimes banks will add a certain amount if paid back right away. Mathematically, it is 500.
6 months from now is a half year, so the interest=prt=500*0.15*0.5=37.5 and the payment is 537.5
1 year the interest is 75 and the payment is 575
