Answer 1

Q1. We can use financial calculator for calculation of annual installment with below key strokes:

N = loan period = 10 years; I/Y = interest rate = 10%; PV = loan amount = 120,000; FV = future value = 0 > CPT = compute > PMT = annual installment = 19,529.45

the amount of the annual installment will be 19,529.45.
