Question

4. Tom Busby owes $20,000 now. A lender will carry the debt for four more years at 8 percent interest. That is, in this particular case, the amount owed will go up by 8 percent per year for four years. The lender then will require Busby to pay off the loan over 12 years at 11 percent interest. What will his annual payment be

Answer 1

Tom Busby

His annual payment will be:

= $4,091.64

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data:

Loan = $20,000

Interest on loan for 4 years = 8% per annum

Amount of loan after 4 years = $27,200 ($20,000 * 1.360)

Payment period = 12 years

Interest rate during payment period = 11%

b) From online finance calculator:

You will need to pay $4,091 every year for 12 years to payoff the debt at 11% interest.

Monthly Payment $340.97

Annual Payment $4,091.64

Time Required to Clear Debt 12.00 years

Total of 144 or 12 Payments = $49,099.25

Total Interest $21,899.25
