Answer
$16,520
Work Step by Step
Simple Interest = $Principal \times rate \times time$
loan amount = Principal = 14,750 dollars
interest = 8 % = 0.08
time = 18 months = $\frac{18}{12}$ = 1.5 years
Interest = $14,750\times0.08\times1.5$ = 1770 dollars.
total amount due = principal + interest = 14,750 + 1,770 = 16,520 Dollars
