Answer:

Interest rate is $562.5 , Maturity value = $15,562.5

Explanation:

Pam borrowed $15000

$15,000 is the principal amount ...p

Nine months is the duration..t

Interest rate is a 5% which is per year interest rate...r

the interest for Pam will be P x rt

=15000x 5% X 9/12

=15000 x 0.05  x 0.75

=562.5

Interest rate is $562.5

maturity value = principal plus interest

=$15000+ $562.5

=$15,562.5

Maturity value = $15,562.5
