Answer
Interest: $-2,896.60, Total: $-10,396.60

To calculate compound interest on $-7,500.00 at -4.0% for -8.0 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 = $-7,500.00 (principal), r = -4.0% = -0.04 (annual rate), n = 1 (compounds per year), t = -8.0 (years)

Step 3 — Substitute and calculate

A = -7,500.00 × (1 + -0.041)1 × -8.0

= -7,500.00 × (0.960000)-8

= -7,500.00 × 1.386214

= $-10,396.60

Step 4 — Find the interest earned

Interest = A − P = -10,396.60 − -7,500.00 = $-2,896.60

Interest: $-2,896.60 | Total: $-10,396.60
