    compound interest

    Explanation:

    If the note carried simple interest, then Lenny should repay:

    $10,000 + ($10,000 x 5 years x 10%) = $10,000 + $5,000

    If the note carried compound interest, then Lenny should repay:

    $10,000 x (1 + r) ⁿ = $10,000 x (1 + 10%) ⁵ = $10,000 x 1.6105 = $16,105

    Compound interest is interest charged over previously earned interest.
