Respuesta :

Answer:

a) 1% per month

2) 263.34 dollar per month

3) interest will be of 64,03‬ in the 20th payment

d) total payment: 2,640.32

Explanation:

[tex]PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\[/tex]

PV 10,000

time 48

a) monthly rate: 12% annual / 12 months per year = 1% = 0.01

[tex]10000 \div \frac{1-(1+0.01)^{-48} }{0.01} = C\\[/tex]

b) C  $ 263.338

amortization at the 1st payment:

263.34 - 10,000 x 0.01 = 163.34

at the 20th payment:

163.34 x 1.01^20 = $199.3058

interest: cuota - amortization = 263.34 - 199.31 = 64,03‬

d) 263.34 x 48 - 10,000 = 2.640,32‬
