Explanation / Answer

Requirement (i) BN will be 0 because entire loan would have repaid by then BN 0 =PN*150000-((PN-1)/(P-1))*1000 0 =150000PN-((PN-1)/0.005)*1000 0 =150000PN-(1000PN-1000)/0.005 0 =PN150000-PN200000+200000 PN   = 0.25 Present value factor for 0.5% interest at 278 month comes to 0.25 So loan will be repaid in 278 months In the final Month we will pay 950 to arrive at perfect repayment of principal amount of 150000 The total repayment will be 277950 Requirement (ii) The Minimal monthly repayment for the loan to be repaid within 25 years is The annuity factor at 0.5% for 300 period ( 25Years ) is                  = 155.206864 So,   its =150000/155.206864 Minimal Monthly payment        = 966.452102
