This problem's formulation is highlight%28highlight%28idiotic%29%29, and I will explain WHY it is so, right now.

In the first sentence it says that the debt is due in 5 years.

Then in the second statement it tells that the second payment is at the end of 6 years,
without any explanations, why it is in 6 years and not in 5.


I do not like when idiotic assignments are posted to the forum.

So please refrain from posting idiotic tasks to this forum. Thanks.
