Explanation / Answer

Answer : Annual payment

Principal (P) = 54000

Rate of Interest (r) = 12 %

Tenure (n) = 10 Years

   Equal annual Payment = P(r(1+r)^n)/((1+r)^n-1)

= 54000 (0.12(1+0.12)10 /((1+0.12)10-1  

= $ 9557.14

Equal annual Payment = $ 9557.14

Answer (b)

Interest = 54000*12% = 6480

Principal paid = installment amount - interest paid
