Question

Engineering economic problem: Using future and present values I want a cash flow diagram for this equal principal annual payment plan. Creating a table and a cash flow for repayment period of 5 years, I want to borrow $2m from a bank. Interest rate 10%. Find me Proncipal payements, interest, amount to pay each year, and unpaid balance at the end. Then construct a cash flow diagram for the above information.

Explanation / Answer

First calculate the annual payment:

Annual Payment = (P x r x (1 + r)n) / (((1 + r)n)-1)

P = Principal, r = rate = interest rate = 10%, n = 5 (5 years)

Now substitute the above variables in formula;

=2000000*10%*(1+10%)^5)/(((1+10%)^5)-1) = 527,595 (approx. rounding up done to whole number)

Or

=2000000 x 10% x (1+10%)5 / ((1+10%)5-1)

You can paste “=2*1000000*10%*(1+10%)^5/((1+10%)^5-1)” is your excel workbook or spreadsheet cell to get result “527,595”
