  I will do #2, the hardest. Amount of loan in 4 years = 50000(1 + .11/12)^48 = ... to find the interest charged subtract 50000 from the above result (I don't have a calculator handy) How about letting me know what you have done so far for the rest. The purpose of this site is not to do the assignments for you.

  No, I know I totally understand the reason that I come to this website is to get tutored only. I will post I have done for the rest so if I did an error some one can correct me.
