Answer #1

Answer:

We need to use Present Value Annuity formula to find out the figure.

Present Value of an Annuity ( PA) PVA- A X (1 + r) - 1 or PVA- A X ( PVAF)- %, n Years )

A = Annuity
r = Interest rate
n = Number of years
Loan Amount $    20,000.00
Interest rate 8.00%
Monthly rate = 0.67%
No.of month 60

PVA = A* (1+r)^n - 1 / r*(1+r)^n

(1+r)^n-1 = 0.489845708
(1+r)^n = 1.489845708
r*(1+r)^n = 0.009932305
(1+r)^n - 1 / r*(1+r)^n 49.31843334
20,000 = A * 49.3184334
A = 20,000/49.3184334
A= $              405.53
