Monthly (nominal) interest rate = 12%/12 = 1%
First we calculate present value (PV) of expenses. Note that
Expense in month N = 1.05 x Expense in month (N - 1) and
PV Factor in month N = (1.01)-N
Month | Expense ($) | PV Factor @1% | Discounted Expese ($) |
(A) | (B) | (C) = (A) x (B) | |
1 | 3,00,000 | 0.9901 | 2,97,030 |
2 | 3,15,000 | 0.9803 | 3,08,793 |
3 | 3,30,750 | 0.9706 | 3,21,023 |
4 | 3,47,288 | 0.9610 | 3,33,736 |
5 | 3,64,652 | 0.9515 | 3,46,954 |
6 | 3,82,884 | 0.9420 | 3,60,694 |
7 | 4,02,029 | 0.9327 | 3,74,979 |
8 | 4,22,130 | 0.9235 | 3,89,830 |
9 | 4,43,237 | 0.9143 | 4,05,269 |
10 | 4,65,398 | 0.9053 | 4,21,319 |
11 | 4,88,668 | 0.8963 | 4,38,005 |
12 | 5,13,102 | 0.8874 | 4,55,352 |
Present Value ($) = | 44,52,985 |
Total amount to be covered using monthly installments ($) = PV of expenses + 10% of PV of expenses
= 4,452,985 x 1.10
= 4,898,283.5
Monthly installment ($) = Total amount to be covered / P/A(1%, 6) = 4,898,283.5 / 5.7955** = 845,187.39
