Given:

Principal / loan: 45,000

Interest rate: 5% per annum

Term: 6 years.

Simple Interest = Principal * interest rate * term

Simple Interest = 45,000 * 5% * 6

Simple Interest = 13,500

45,000 + 13,500 = 58,500 This is the total amount due

12 months * 6 years = 72 months

58,500 / 72 = 812.50 monthly payment

Kim must pay $812.50 per month for the next 6 years.
