Answer:
x = 100 is equivalent to z = -1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
I think it's 34.5 (I need more letters so I'm typing this)
The question is an annuity question with the present value of the annuity given.
The
present value of an annuity is given by PV = P(1 - (1 + r/t)^-nt) /
(r/t) where PV = $61,600; r = interest rate = 9.84% = 0.0984; t = number
of payments in a year = 6; n = number of years = 11 years and P is the
periodic payment.
61600 = P(1 - (1 + 0.0984/6)^-(11 x 6)) / (0.0984 / 6)
61600 = P(1 - (1 + 0.0164)^-66) / 0.0164
61600 x 0.0164 = P(1 - (1.0164)^-66)
1010.24 = P(1 - 0.341769) = 0.658231P
P = 1010.24 / 0.658231 = 1534.78
Thus, Niki pays $1,534.78 every two months for eleven years.
The total payment made by Niki = 11 x 6 x 1,534.78 = $101,295.48
Therefore, interest paid by Niki = $101,295.48 - $61,600 = $39,695.48
