Question

Fatima has borrowed $1,000,000 from MQ Bank for 10 years at an interest rate of j2=3.11%. She will make 10 annual repayments. According to the loan agreement, Fatima's repayments will be $94,000 for the first two years followed by payments of with the amount of X per year for the remaining eight years. This loan needs to be fully repaid by the end of 10 years.

(a) Assume that all annual repayments will be paid at the end of each year (the first payment will be at the end of the first year), what is the value of Fatima's annual payment amount X (rounded to four decimal places)? a. 124833.9442 b. 117417.0375 c. 125029.1998 d. 117545.5547

Answer 1

To find the value of Fatima's annual payment amount X, we need to calculate the remaining loan balance after the first two years and set it equal to $1,000,000. Solving the equation will give us the value of X, which is $124,833.9442 (option a).

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of Fatima's annual payment amount X, we need to calculate the remaining loan balance after the first two years. The loan balance after two years can be found using the formula for the future value of an ordinary annuity:

Loan Balance = X * ((1 + j1)^n1 - 1) / j1

Where j1 represents the annual interest rate, n1 represents the number of periods, and X represents the annual payment amount. We can plug in the values from the question:

Loan Balance = X * ((1 + 0.0311)^8 - 1) / 0.0311

Since the loan needs to be fully repaid by the end of 10 years, the remaining loan balance after the first two years can be calculated as:

Remaining Loan Balance = Loan Balance - (X * ((1 + 0.0311)^8 - 1) / 0.0311)

The remaining loan balance should be equal to $1,000,000. So we can set up the equation:

$1,000,000 = (X * ((1 + 0.0311)^8 - 1) / 0.0311) + (X * ((1 + 0.0311)^8 - 1) / 0.0311)

Solving this equation will give us the value of X:

The value of Fatima's annual payment amount X is $124,833.9442 (option a).
