Micro Brewery borrows $330,000 to be repaid in equal installments over a period of six years. The loan payments are semiannual with the first payment due in six months, and interest is at 6%. What is the amount of each payment?
a. $33,152.
b. $27,500.
c. $32,187.
d. $28,325.
A. 33,152.
Formula
The EMI Amount can be known by using present value annuity formula. Annuity is flow of equal payments
Present value formula = R(1 - (1+i) power minus n / I.
Present value $330,000.
I = 6/100 = 0.06
n = 6.
R = EMI
As it semi annual we have divide i i.e. 0.06 by 2 and we have multiple n with 2.
$330,000 = R [ 1 - ( 1 + I) power minus / I ]
$330,000 = R [ 1 - (1+0.03 ) POWER MINUS 12 / 0.03
$ 330,000 = R 9.95
R = 330,000 /9.95 Refer note
R = 33,152.
Note
1 - 0.7014 by simplifying above equation / 0.03
0.2986 /0.03
9.95
