Answer
Interest: $-1,812.88, Total: $-6,812.88

To calculate compound interest on $-5,000.00 at -6.0% for -5.0 years (compounded annually), follow the step-by-step solution below.

Step 1 — Write the formula

A = P × (1 + r/n)n×t

Step 2 — Identify the values

P = $-5,000.00 (principal), r = -6.0% = -0.06 (annual rate), n = 1 (compounds per year), t = -5.0 (years)

Step 3 — Substitute and calculate

A = -5,000.00 × (1 + -0.061)1 × -5.0

= -5,000.00 × (0.940000)-5

= -5,000.00 × 1.362576

= $-6,812.88

Step 4 — Find the interest earned

Interest = A − P = -6,812.88 − -5,000.00 = $-1,812.88

Interest: $-1,812.88 | Total: $-6,812.88
