QuestionIr. Alaa borrows from a bank at 8 percent annually compounded terest to be repaid in five annual installments. repare an amortization schedule
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. The loan amount is \$5,000.
2. The annual interest rate is 8%.
3. The loan is to be repaid in 5 equal annual installments.
4. The interest is compounded annually.
STEP 2
1. Calculate the annual installment amount.
2. Create the amortization schedule.
3. Detail each year's payment breakdown into interest and principal.
STEP 3
To calculate the annual installment amount, we use the formula for an annuity:
where:
- is the annual installment,
- is the principal,
- is the annual interest rate,
- is the number of installments.
Substitute the values into the formula:
Calculate :
Substitute back into the formula:
The annual installment amount is approximately \$1,252.28.
STEP 4
Create the amortization schedule by calculating the interest and principal for each year.
Year 1:
- Beginning Balance: \$5,000
- Interest = \( 5000 \times 0.08 = 400 \)
- Principal = \( 1252.28 - 400 = 852.28 \)
- Ending Balance = \( 5000 - 852.28 = 4147.72 \)
Year 2:
- Beginning Balance: \$4,147.72
- Interest = \( 4147.72 \times 0.08 = 331.82 \)
- Principal = \( 1252.28 - 331.82 = 920.46 \)
- Ending Balance = \( 4147.72 - 920.46 = 3227.26 \)
Year 3:
- Beginning Balance: \$3,227.26
- Interest = \( 3227.26 \times 0.08 = 258.18 \)
- Principal = \( 1252.28 - 258.18 = 994.10 \)
- Ending Balance = \( 3227.26 - 994.10 = 2233.16 \)
Year 4:
- Beginning Balance: \$2,233.16
- Interest = \( 2233.16 \times 0.08 = 178.65 \)
- Principal = \( 1252.28 - 178.65 = 1073.63 \)
- Ending Balance = \( 2233.16 - 1073.63 = 1159.53 \)
Year 5:
- Beginning Balance: \$1,159.53
- Interest = \( 1159.53 \times 0.08 = 92.76 \)
- Principal = \( 1252.28 - 92.76 = 1159.52 \)
- Ending Balance = \( 1159.53 - 1159.52 = 0.01 \) (rounding error adjustment)
STEP 5
Detail each year's payment breakdown into interest and principal as shown in the amortization schedule above.
The amortization schedule is complete, and the annual installment is approximately \$1,252.28.
