Answer:

$177,114.99

Explanation:

The ending balance of the loan at the end of the 30th month after the monthly payment is the beginning balance at the beginning of the month plus the interest for the month minus the monthly payment.

Note that the interest expense for the month increases the loan balance while the monthly payment reduces the balance.

interest expense for 30th month=beginning balance*fixed interest rate/2

interest expense for 30th month=$177,391.93*4.375%/12

interest expense for 30th month=$646.74

monthly payment =$923.68

The ending balance of the loan=$177,391.93+$646.74-$923.68

The ending balance of the loan=$177,114.99

You just won the Powerball and are offered two payment options: 1) Receiving $80 million per year for 25 years beginning at next
laila [671]

Answer: $80 million per year for 25 years

Explanation:

The option you should choose is one that will guarantee you the highest present value.

This means that you need to discount the annual payment of $80 million per year for 25 years to find the present value. As you did not include a rate, we shall assume a rate of 8% for reference purposes.

The annual payment is an annuity so the present value can be calculated by:

Present value of annuity = Annuity payment * Present value interest factor, rate, no. of years

= 80,000,000 * Present value interest factor, 8%, 25 years

= 80,000,000 * 10.6748

= $‭853,984,000‬

<em>The present value of the annual payment is more than the present value of the $850 million received today so the Annual payment should be taken. </em>
