Solution

Principal amount = Rs. 16000Rate of interest = 10% per annum = 5% for half yearTime = 112 years = 3 half yearsPrincipal for the first half year = Rs. 16000Interest for the first half year = Rs. 16000×5×1100= Rs. 800Now, amount at the end of the first half year = Rs. (16000 + 800) = Rs. 16800Principal for the second half year = Rs. 16800Interest for the second half year = Rs. 16800×5×1100= Rs. 840Now, amount at the end of the second half year = Rs. (16800 + 840) = Rs. 17640Principal for the third half year = Rs. 17640Interest for the third half year = Rs. 17640×5×1100= Rs. 882Now, amount at the end of the third half year = Rs. (17640 + 882) = Rs. 18522 The amount of money Michael has to pay the finance company after 112years is Rs 18522.
