    1.$62,748

    2. $31,752

    Explanation:

    The computation of End of fiscal year and current fiscal year is given below:-

    End of fiscal year = Borrowed amount * Interest rate * one month : Total number of months

    = $630,000 * 12% * 1 : 12

    = $630,000 * 12% * 0.083

    = $62,748

    Current fiscal year = Paid back amount * Interest rate * Four month : Total number of months

    = $630,000 * 12% * 5 : 12

    = $630,000 * 12% * 0.42

    = $31,752

    So, we applied the above formula.
