a. Option A.1575000 *120mo.=189000000 in 10 yrs.

b. Option B.1.575M @ 18% APR,Compounded
monthly. Pt=Po*(r+1)^n.
Pt=Value at 10 yrs. r=MPR=Monthly percentage rate. n=the number of
interest compounding periods.

r=18/12/100=0.015
n=12*10=120

Pt=1575000*(0.015+1)^120=9401683.52=
Value @ 10yrs.

Evidently, this is not a practical
situation.
