Question

A loan is being amortized by means of level monthly payments at an annual effective interest rate of 8%. The amount of principal repaid in the 12th payment is 1,000 and the amount of principal repaid in the t^th payment is 3700.a) 198b) 204c) 210d) 216e) 228

Answer 1

d) 216

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to equate the value of 12th payment and t^th payment through the below formula.

=> 1000*(1+8%)^[(t-12)/12] =3700

=> (1.08)^[(t-12)/12] =3.7

=> [(t-12)/12] =17

=> t=216
