1 answer:

7 0

Let's imagine you have a loan of 10,000. The simple interest would be calculated on the $10,000 so if you have an interest rate of 5%, it would go up 5% each year. Compound interest is basically interest on top of interest. So after every period or year of the loan, you are gaining compound interest on both the original loan amount and the interest you have gained.

Answer:

Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month

Explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Deposit amount in the bank = $10200

Interest rate earned by the deposit = 4.19%

Monthly interest rate = 4.19% / 12 = 0.34917%

Number of periods = 4 years x 12 = 48

Amount in the account = Monthly withdrawal x (P/A, 0.34917%, 48)

10200 = Monthly withdrawal x 44.12246

Monthly withdrawal = 10200/44.12246

Monthly withdrawal = $ 231.17 per month

=pmt(rate,nper,-pv,fv)

rate is the irr of 18.25%

pv is -$4000

fv is the future amount 0f $9,250

=pmt(18.25%,5,-4000,9250)
