Question

Another bank is also offering favorable terms, so Rahul decides to take a loan of $14,000 from this bank. He signs the loan contract at 9% compounded daily for four months. Based on a 365-day year, what is the total amount that Rahul owes the bank at the end of the loan’s term? (Hint: To calculate the number of days, divide the number of months by 12 and multiply by 365.)

Answer 1

Answer: $14,426.43

Explanation:

At the end of 4 months and assuming a  12 months and 365 days in a year, the formula to be used to calculate how much Rahul owes is;

We use the formula:

Amount owed = Present Value ( 1 + rate/365 ) ^ 365 * time period

Amount owed = 14,000 * ( 1 + 0.09/365 ) ^ (365 *4/12 )

Amount owed  = $14,426.43
