- $38,266.75
- $39,158.08
Step-by-step explanation:
The amortization formula can be used to find the payment value.
A = P(r/2)/(1 -(1 +r/2)^(2n))
where P is the principal amount at the beginning of the loan period, r is the annual interest rate, n is the number of years remaining on the loan
The value of A in this scenario is the semi-annual payment.
Initially, the interest rate is 0.055 and the number of years remaining is 25.
After the first 5-year period, the interest rate goes up by 12%, so is multiplied by a factor of 1.12 to become 6.16% per year. The same growth factor is applied to the interest rate at the beginning of each 5-year period.
Of course, the number of years remaining is decreased by 5 years at the beginning of the next 5-year period.
__
The Principal remaining at the end of each 5-year period is the starting principal for the next period. It is calculated from ...
FV = P(1 +r/2)^10 -A((1 +r/2)^10 -1)/(r/2)
Where P is the starting principal, A is the loan payment as calculated above, and r is the annual interest rate.
__
These formulas are built into spreadsheet functions, so the desired set of loan payments can be calculated easily by that technology. The result is attached. In the "# pmts" column is the value used to amortize the loan for the 5-year period. The semiannual payment is calculated as though the loan would be completely paid off in that number of payments, keeping the same interest rate for the duration. Of course, that payment series is interrupted and the loan recalculated at the beginning of the next 5 years.
The half-yearly payments for each 5-year interval are ...
$33,336.83
$35,176.68
$36,869.23
$38,266.75
$39,158.08

<em>Additional comment</em>
The values displayed in the spreadsheet are rounded to the values shown. The values used in calculation have 14 or more significant digits. This means the numbers here may vary from those provided by a lending institution. In the real world, the principal and interest values are rounded to cents with each payment, so actual results may vary by a few cents either way.
Answer:
If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that
so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 190
Step-by-step explanation:
Data given and notation
represent the mean
represent the sample standard deviation for the sample
sample size
represent the value that we want to test
represent the significance level for the hypothesis test.
t would represent the statistic (variable of interest)
represent the p value for the test (variable of interest)
State the null and alternative hypotheses.
We need to conduct a hypothesis in order to check if the mean is higher than 190, the system of hypothesis would be:
Null hypothesis:
Alternative hypothesis:
If we analyze the size for the sample is < 30 and we don't know the population deviation so is better apply a t test to compare the actual mean to the reference value, and the statistic is given by:
(1)
t-test: "Is used to compare group means. Is one of the most common tests and is used to determine if the mean is (higher, less or not equal) to an specified value".
Calculate the statistic
We can replace in formula (1) the info given like this:
P-value
The first step is calculate the degrees of freedom, on this case:
Since is a one side test the p value would be:
Conclusion
If we compare the p value and the significance level given we see that
so we can conclude that we have enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, and we can conclude that the true mean is higher than 190
