Transcribed Image Text: You borrow $30,000 for 10 years to pay tuition and fees. The annual interest rate is 12 percent. What monthly payment

would be required to pay o the loan? ANS: Use the following formula: F= Px- 1- [1/(1+ 1) " where P = $30,000; i = 0.12 + 12= 0.01; N= 10 x 12 = 120

Expert Solution

 Step 1

Loan amount (P) = $30,000


Interest rate = 12%

Monthly interest rate (i) = 12%/12 = 1%

Period = 10 Years

Number of monthly payments (N) = 10*12 = 120

 Step 2

Therefore

           Monthly payment = P*i/1-[1/(1+i) N]

                                          = 30000*0.01/1-[1/(1+0.01) 120]

                                          = 300/1-[1/1.01120]

                                          = 300/1-[1/3.30038689457367]

                                          = 300/(1-0.302994779686027)

                                          = 300/0.697005220313973

                                          = 430.41

Hence

Monthly payment = $430.41
