Question

if you borrow 10,000 over five years, at the end of the five years, what will you have paid off?

Answer 1

This would depend on the interest rate of the loan and the terms of repayment. If you are paying back only the principal amount (that is 10,000) with no interest, then at the end of five years, you would have paid off the entire 10,000. However, if there's an interest, you would have paid back more depending on the interest rate and other terms.
