Ralph has just borrowed $1800 to purchase a new stereo, at a nominal rate of interest of 11.8% convertible monthly. Although he is charged interest from the moment he borrows the money, the first payment is not due for 7 months. If he will make 24 monthly payments, how much interest is in the 17th payment?

Answer #1

FV of amount borrowed in 7 months = 1800 *(1+0.118/12)^7

Amount in 7 months = $1927.62

Now convert this amount in 24 month equal installments by using excel function PPMT and IPMT

PPMT will give principal amount for each month

IPMT will give interest amount for each month

So after calculating interest amount for 17th payment is $6.82
