An amortized loan of RM60,000 has annual payments for fifteen years, the first occurring exactly one year after the loan is made

. The first four payments will be for only half as much as the next five payments, whereas the remaining payments are twice as much as the previous five payments. The annual effective interest rate for the loan is 5%. I If the first four payments are X each, calculate the amount of principal repaid in the eighth payment and the amount of interest in the twelfth payment.​

Answer:

  a) RM2256.09 . . . principal paid by 8th payment

  b) RM1791.10 . . . . interest paid by 12th payment

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we need to find the payments.

The payment amount is the amount that makes the future value of the series of payments equal to the future value of the loan at the given interest rate.

The future value of a single amount is ...

  FV = P(1 +r)^n . . . . . where r is the annual rate, and n is the number of years in the future

The future value of a series of payments is ...

  FV = P((1 +r)^n -1)/r . . . . . where n is the number of payments of P earning annual rate r

For payments in a series that does not end at the end of the loan, the future value is the product of that of the series and the effect of the accumulation of interest for the remaining time.

__

The first 4 payments will have a future value at the end of the loan period of ...

  s1 = X((1 +0.05)^4 -1)/0.05×(1 +0.05)^11 = X(1.05^15 -1.05^11)/0.05

  s1 = 7.3717764259X

The next 5 payments will have a future value at the end of the loan period of ...

  s2 = 2X((1 +0.05)^5 -1)/0.05×(1 +0.05)^6 = 2X(1.05^11 -1.05^6)/0.05

  s2 = 14.8097486997X

The last 6 payments will have a future value at the end of the loan period of ...

  s3 = 4X((1 +0.05)^6 -1)/0.05 = 27.20765125X

So, the total future value of the series of payments is ...

  payment value = 7.3717764259X +14.8097486997X +27.20765125X

  = 49.3891763756X

__

The future value of the loan amount after 15 years is ...

  loan value = 60,000(1 +0.05)^15 = 124,735.69

In order for these amounts to be the same, we must have ...

  49.3891763756X = 124,735.69

  X = 124,735.69/49.3891763756 = 2,525.57

__

At this point, it is convenient to use a spreadsheet to find the interest and principal portions of each of the loan payments. (We find the interest charge to be greater than the payment amount for the first 4 payments. So, the loan balance is increasing during those years.)

In the attached, we have shown the interest on the beginning balance, and the principal that changes the beginning balance to the ending balance after each payment. (That is, the interest portion of the payment is on the row above the payment number.)

The spreadsheet tells us ...

A) the principal repaid in the 8th payment is RM2,256.09

B) the interest paid in the 12th payment is RM1,791.10

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

The spreadsheet "goal seek" function could be used to find the payment amount that makes the loan balance zero at the end of the term.

We have used rounding to sen (RM0.01) in the calculation of interest payments. The effect of that is that the "goal seek" solution is a payment value of 2525.56707 instead of the 2525.56734 that we calculated above. The value rounded to RM0.01 is the same in each case: 2525.57.

Can anybody help me with this
kondaur [170]

Answer:

c ≈ 9.1 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides , that is

c² = 4.1² + 8.1² = 16.81 + 65.61 = 82.42 ( take square root of both sides )

c = \sqrt{82.42 } ≈ 9.1 m ( to the nearest tenth )

Assume that there are an equal number of births in each month so that the probability is that a person chosen at random was born
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they have a birthday in May, or they do not. The probability of a person having a birthday in May is independent of any other person. This means that the binomial probability distribution is used to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

In which C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

And p is the probability of X happening.

Probability of a person being in May:

May has 31 days in a year of 365. So

p = \frac{31}{365} = 0.0849

Group of 20 friends:

This means that n = 20

What is the probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays?

This is P(X = 2).

P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}

P(X = 2) = C_{20,2}.(0.0849)^{2}.(0.9151)^{18} = 0.2773

0.2773 = 27.73% probability that at the May celebration, exactly two members of the group have May birthdays
