Answer:
$443,091.5
Explanation:
Given that,
Amount of loan, present value = $185,000
Annual rate of interest, r = 7% ÷ 12
= 0.00583
Time period = 30 years
Therefore,
Monthly payments:
![=\frac{r\times PV}{[1 - (1+r)^{-n}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7Br%5Ctimes%20PV%7D%7B%5B1%20-%20%281%2Br%29%5E%7B-n%7D%5D%7D)
![=\frac{0.00583\times 185,000}{[1 - (1+0.00583)^{-30\times12}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B0.00583%5Ctimes%20185%2C000%7D%7B%5B1%20-%20%281%2B0.00583%29%5E%7B-30%5Ctimes12%7D%5D%7D)
![=\frac{1,078.55}{[1 - (1.00583)^{-360}]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%5Cfrac%7B1%2C078.55%7D%7B%5B1%20-%20%281.00583%29%5E%7B-360%7D%5D%7D)
= 1230.81
Total (principle and interest) will be paid over the life:
= Monthly payments × 360
= $1,230.81 × 360
= $443,091.5
Answer: (a).
Annexure: <u>Since a part of the information was found missing in the question, a similar question has been provided as an attachment for reference. </u>
If the interest rate falls with other things remaining constant, a firm would like to raise more money via debt instruments.
This will lead to an increase in the quantity of loanable funds demanded.
This would further lead to increase in the level of invested funds by the public as it would get cheaper for the corporates to avail loans.
Answer:
I have to invest $11364.
Explanation:
The formula of Compound Interest is:

where A = Amount
P = Principle
r = rate
n = Number of Compounding per year
t = total number of year
Here, A = 15000, r = 5.75% = 0.0575, n = 4(quarterly), and t = 5.
Putting all these values in above formula:

⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ 
⇒ P = 11364
Hence, I have to invest $11364 for 5 years.
