Myra took out a 20 year loan for $80,000 at an APR of 11.5% compounded monthly, approximately what would be the total cost of her loan if she paid it off 13 years early?

Respuesta :

well, if she were to pay it 13years earlier, that means 20 - 13, or in 7years, so the monthly compounding will only apply to the 7years

thus

 [tex]\bf \qquad \textit{Compound Interest Earned Amount} \\\\ A=P\left(1+\frac{r}{n}\right)^{nt} \quad \begin{cases} A=\textit{compounded amount}\\ P=\textit{original amount deposited}\to &\$80000\\ r=rate\to 11.5\%\to \frac{11.5}{100}\to &0.115\\ n= \begin{array}{llll} \textit{times it compounds per year}\\ \textit{monthly, thus 12 times} \end{array}\to &12\\ t=years\to &7 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=80000\left(1+\frac{0.115}{12}\right)^{12\cdot 7}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given:

Principal amount which is 80,000

Time which is 20 year

Rate which is 11.5%

And since, we have to find 13 years early so, time would be: 20-13=7 years.

And since, we have to find for 12 months

Hence, n=12

We have formula to calculate compound interest:

[tex]P{1+\frac{r}{n}}^{nt}[/tex]

On substituting the values we get:

[tex]80,000(1+\frac{0.115}{12})^{12\cdot 7}[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 80,000(1+(\frac{.115}{12}})^{84}[/tex]

On simplification we get:
