Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the amount of interest owing, we can use the formula:

Interest = Principal x Rate x Time

where Principal is the amount borrowed, Rate is the annual interest rate, and Time is the length of the loan period in years.

In this case, the Principal is $50,000, the Rate is 9% or 0.09 as a decimal, and the Time is 90 days or 0.25 years (since there are 365 days in a year).

Interest = $50,000 x 0.09 x 0.25 = $1,125

Therefore, the amount of interest owing in 90 days is $1,125. However, this is not one of the answer choices. The closest answer is B, which is $1,109.59. This is likely due to rounding, as the actual amount of interest owing would be $1,125.
