(a) Saving balance = $20,600

                    Interest           = $600

                (b) Total in Mutual fund = $26,503.34

                      Interest earned = $3,903.34

                 (c) Money Earned from Savings Account= $11,330

                      Money Earned from Stock Market:$12,100

                  (2a)  Monthly Payment = $7,503.93

                          Total Amount Paid = $90,047.18

                      (b) Monthly Payment =$6,753.53

                            Total Amount Paid = $81,042.46

                       (c) Peer - peer lending and index fund

Step-by-step explanation:

The Original money, which is the principal , in the savings account is $2,000

Savings each year = $2,000

Savings for 10 years = $2,000 x 10 = $20,000

Annual Interest rate = 3%

Interest for 10 years = PTR/100

                = 2000 x 10 x 3 / 100

      = 600

Total savings after 10 years = saving + interest  

      = $20,000 + $600

      = $20,600

Therefore:

Savings balance = $20,600

Interest earned   = $ 600

(b) The savings + the extra $2000 = $20,600 + $ 2,000  

        = $22,600

Interest rate = 8%

Interest       = 22,600 x 1 x 8 / 100

 = $1,808

That means profit = $ 1,808

Re – investing the profit, we will take the profit as the principal and then calculate the compounded interest for 10 years using the formula

A = P

   = 1,808 (1.08)10

    = $3,903.34

Amount in the mutual fund at the end of ten years implies

$22,600 + $3,903.34 = $26,503.34  

Total in Mutual fund = $26,503.34

Interest earned = $3,903.34

(c) Since half of the $2,000 is left in savings, it means we have $1,000 in savings

Savings after 10 years = $1,000 + 10 x $1,000 = $ 11,000

3% of savings = 0.03 x 11.000 = $330

Total money in Savings = $11,000 + $330

         = $11,330

Also for Stock

Money in stock after 10 years = $1,000 + 10 x $1,000 = $11,000

10% of stock = 0.1 x $11,000 = $1,100

Total money in Stock = $11,000 + $1,100

       = $12,100

Total money = money in savings + money in stock

 = $11,330 + $12,100

 = $23,430.00

(2) Amount given = $5,000

Loan = $50,000

Interest rate on loan = 4%

Calculating the amount the loan will yield after 15 years using the formula

A = P

A = 50,000 ( 1 + 0.04)15

A = $90,047.18

Therefore the compounded interest ( C.I) =  $90,047.18 - $50,000

          = $40,047.18

(a) If you do not use the $5,000 , the monthly payment = $90,047.18 / 12

= $7,503.93

And the total payment = $90,047.18

(b) If , $5,00 is used as the initial payment then the remaining loan will be

$50,000 - $5,000 = $45,000

So , we will have to calculate the amount $45,000 will yield after 15 years using the same formula

That is : A = 45,000 (1.04)15

   A =$ 81,042.46

Therefore the C.I = $81,042.46 - $45,000

= $36,042.46‬

Monthly payment = $ 81,042.46/ 12

= $6,753.53

Total payment     = $81,042.46

(c) Method of investing the money

(i) Peer to peer Lending. Giving helping hand one could earn money as they pay back the loan with interest. If the interest is set to be 20%, for 15 years , 5000 will yield

5000(1.2)15 = $77,035.10

(ii) Index fund : Index funds are a collection of stocks, so your investment is automatically diversified. Index fund like E-trade could be invested into. Using the stock calculator , it would yield $141,144

(d) I would rather invest the money in E- trade since I am sure it would bring a profit more than the amount of the loan will yield after 15 years , I will even have more money to hold at habd

i believe its "c" because all of the other options include a but it could be d because there is a way of financing with cash at certain places but its uncommon.
