Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the monthly interest rate and then use it to calculate the monthly repayments. After that, we can calculate the total amount repaid over the year and subtract the initial loan amount to find the total amount of fees and interest paid.

Step 1: Calculate the monthly interest rate The annual interest rate is 47.6158%, but it's compounding monthly. So, we need to divide it by 12 to get the monthly interest rate. Monthly interest rate = 47.6158% / 12 = 3.96798%

Step 2: Calculate the monthly repayments We can use the formula for the monthly payment on a loan, which is: P = [r*PV] / [1 - (1 + r)^-n] where: P = monthly payment r = monthly interest rate (in decimal form, so 3.96798% = 0.0396798) PV = present value, i.e., the amount of the loan ($2500) n = number of payments (12 months)

P = [0.0396798 * 2500] / [1 - (1 + 0.0396798)^-12] P = 99.17995

Step 3: Calculate the total amount repaid over the year Total amount repaid = monthly payment * number of payments Total amount repaid = 99.17995 * 12 = $1190.1594

Step 4: Calculate the total amount of fees and interest paid Total fees and interest = total amount repaid - initial loan amount + establishment fee Total fees and interest = 1190.15941190.1594 - 2500 + 400=400 = 90.1594
