Henry wants to avoid interest capitalization on his $7,800 unsubsidized Stafford loan. Henry will graduate in four years, and the loan has a duration of ten years. The loan has an interest rate of 5.6%, compounded monthly. How much must Henry pay every month to avoid interest capitalization?

Answer
A
$14.56
B
$43.68
C
$36.40
D
$31.20
