Total amount that Hari needs to repay the money lender = Principal + Interest

Principal = Rs 12600
Interest = (Principal * Rate * Time) / 100
             = (12600 * 15 * 3) / 100
             = Rs 5670

So the total amount he has to repay is = 12600 + 5670 = Rs 18270
Hari pays only Rs 7070 so the remaining amount is 18270 - 7070 = Rs 11200

As the goat is given to clear off the debt, the cost of the goat is Rs 11200 (the remaining debt)
