Question

What would be the amount of the payments for a $10,000 loan at 15%? with the following payment schedule: two equal payments, one due two years from now and the other the 4th year.

I need to find the amounts of the payments (For the 2 year and 4th year)

This are the formula I have studied so far in class..

Im kind of confused because the payments are every two years.. Can someone help me with the process to get the values ? Thanks

Third Time I post the question, I have got this answer before:

Let the equal payment = X

10000 = (X/1.15^2)+(X/1.15^4)

solve for X

X = 10,000/((1/1.15^2)+(1/1.15^4)) = $7530.71

Can someone Explain why this was used ? and what formula was used ? Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

LET AMOUNT PAID BE ;X

VALUE AT END OF 2ND YEAR=10,000(1+0.15)2

AMOUNT PAID=X

AMOUNT LEFT=13225-X

NOW VALUE OF LEFT MONEY AFTER NEXT 2 YEAR=(13225-X)(1+.15)2

THIS SUM IS EQUAL TO X

SO. 1.3225(13225-X)=X

2.3225X= 17,490.0625

X= 7,530.70
