Please show detailed process
First we have to convert the quarterly rate in EAR and than monthly compunded rate | |||||||
EAR = | (1+6%/4)^4-1 | 6.14% | |||||
Annual rate (Monthly compounding) = | ((1+6.41%)^(1/12)-1)*12 | ||||||
5.97% | |||||||
Future value of the loan at the end of 6th month | |||||||
put in calculator | |||||||
PV | -10000 | ||||||
PMT | 0 | ||||||
I | 5.97%/12 | 0.4975% | |||||
N | 6 | ||||||
Compute FV | $10,302.25 | ||||||
Computation of monthly rate | |||||||
put in calculator | |||||||
FV | 0 | ||||||
PV | ($10,302.25) | ||||||
I | 0.4975% | ||||||
N | 30 | ||||||
Compute PMT | $370.53 | ||||||
Ans = | $370.53 |
