Answer
Interest: $-6,510.43, Total: $-11,510.43

To calculate compound interest on $-5,000.00 at -8.0% for -10.0 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 = -8.0% = -0.08 (annual rate), n = 1 (compounds per year), t = -10.0 (years)

Step 3 — Substitute and calculate

A = -5,000.00 × (1 + -0.081)1 × -10.0

= -5,000.00 × (0.920000)-10

= -5,000.00 × 2.302087

= $-11,510.43

Step 4 — Find the interest earned

Interest = A − P = -11,510.43 − -5,000.00 = $-6,510.43

Interest: $-6,510.43 | Total: $-11,510.43
