Explanation / Answer

1>PV of Annuity when A=1200 , n=5 Year and i=7.8% p.a. Interest per month=0.078/12 0.0065 Interest Factor=(1+0.0065)^(5*12) 1.475 PV=1200*(F-1)/F*i=1200*(1.475-1)/(1.475*0.0065) 59452.41 2>Monthly Interest=4.2/12 0.35 Interest Factor=(1+0.0035)^(12*30) 3.52 a>Capital Recovery per month=A=200000*(F*i)/(F-1)=200000*(3.52*0.0035)/(3.52-1) 977.78 b>Balance after 16years=200000-977.78*12*16 12266.24 c>Amount paid in 23years=977.78*12*23 269867.3 Equity=310000-269867.3 40132.7
