Immediately after making your regular payment at the end of 5 years, you desire to pay the remainder of the loan in a single payment. Compute the amount you must pay for the remainder of the loan."

Explanation / Answer

d.

Find the monthly payment of the loan

Periodic payment of a loan is given by

P = L[r(1 + r)^n]/[(1 + r)^n - 1]

P - Periodic payment = ?

r - Interst rate = 0.139/12

n - Term = 7*12 = 84

L - Loan amount = 29000

P = 29000[(0.139/12)(1 + (0.139/12))^84]/[(1 + (0.139/12))^84 - 1] = 541.86

Monthly payment = 541.86

Prepare the amortization for the first 9 payments as below:

Interest component = $316.04

Year Balance at the beginning of period Total payment Amount to interest = Balance *(0.139/12) Amount to principal = Total payment - Amount to interest Ending Balance 1 29000 541.86 335.92 205.94 28794.06 2 28794.06 541.86 333.53 208.33 28585.73 3 28585.73 541.86 331.12 210.74 28374.99 4 28374.99 541.86 328.68 213.18 28161.80 5 28161.80 541.86 326.21 215.65 27946.15 6 27946.15 541.86 323.71 218.15 27728.00 7 27728.00 541.86 321.18 220.68 27507.33 8 27507.33 541.86 318.63 223.23 27284.09 9 27284.09 541.86 316.04 225.82 27058.27
