Using compound interest and a graphing calculator, it is found that it will take about 15 years for the loan to be paid off.
<h3>What is compound interest?</h3>The amount of money earned, in compound interest, after t years, is given by:
In which:
- A(t) is the amount of money after t years.
- P is the principal(the initial sum of money).
- r is the interest rate(as a decimal value).
- n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.
For this problem, the parameters are given as follows:
A(0) = 95000, r = 0.06, n = 12.
Hence the value of the loan after t years is:
You have monthly payments of $1,200, hence the amount paid after t years is:
P(t) = 12 x 1,200t = 14400t
Then we have to solve for:
A(t) = P(t)
Which is solved in the graph below, meaning that it will take about 15 years for the loan to be paid off.
